Wondered which Ranger(s) have the highest mileage on them, both with original motor or replaced motor. Hope to keep mine at least 200,000 miles. Just curious.

 

I know Downey has like 250,000 on his.

 

well now im up to 262k original motor but 3 trannys and clutches later

 

343,000kms, equaling about 213,000miles on original engine/trans.

Not the highest but it is up there.

 

I recieved a My Ford magazine not too long ago and there is a section where people write about their unique vehicles like one guy had a 68 ShelbyCobra gt500 he had bought it brand new and in 2008 he bought a new GT500


but I remember one time a guy wrote about his genI ranger with original engine, tranny (auto) and all he had to replace was the typical plus power steering pump, switiched it to run RA134, replaced the alt... I believe it was a 3.0.... total miles he had on it at the time was over 600,000 the truck had been repainted but looked to be really solid


Ive prolly got the lowest miles at 26xxx lol for an 04 had it since 4 miles on the clock

 

my truck is @ 150k and i havnt had a single engine/trans problem.. but ive had plenty of other issues radiator spark plugs ball joins ect ect... but my dad has 680k on his 95 E150 it looks like its got a mill on it tho lol

EDIT: the engine is a 300 v6? str8 6

 

Over 260,000 miles here on the original 2.9 in my 92. But the Mitsu. tranny has been replaiced. I would say twice, and throw the rest up to bad rebuilds and people who don't knowwhat they're doing.

 

i will have to go get the little note book out of my truck i can tell you when everything was replaced from the bulb in the head lights to oil changes to then the tranny when out the first time. the guy i bought the truck from worked for Penn dot and wrote everything down in a little book. that's what sold the truck to me because of the miles when i bought it 248k. but it was pretty cool and after i put the decals on it truck i took it up to his house to pick up my bed liner and hes like i see your already starting to change it and i told him in about 2 years i will bring it up again and show him how far it has really come and he will be super surprised then hes a really cool guy

 

I know of two high milage ones. Both are 2.3L 5speed. One has 330k miles and the other has in the 450k area. The 330k one has only had one clutch replaced at 92k miles. Otherwise it's still chugging along.

I just hit 200k on my beater 2.3. Stock motor and trans(5 speed).

 

My 92 Ranger had 421K on it when I got rid of it. The 4.0 had never been opened and the transmission was replaced at 269K. It still ran great when I got rid of it, jsut wanted a newer one at the time.

 

i sold my 89' with 296k on the 2nd motor original trans

 

my grandparents have 356,000 on their 89 mazda b2300 if that counts they only changed the plugs and o2 sensor and oil and it just started running on two cylinders so it might be dead

 

317,000 original tranny, frame, transfer case, and axles. most of those have been fixed too tho.

 

169,000 on my 02 4.0L SOHC original tranny!

 

175 on my ranger orig motor and trany

 

157,962 on mine nothing major replaced yet. Runs like new. Hoping to keep it till it hits 200,000 but u never no

 

Why post if the truck before you has more miles???


This is to find out who has the most. If I have 250K and you have 150K don't post your 150K cause its not the most. There is another thread for how many miles you have. This is for the highest!

 

I hope everyone reads this ^^^

 

Gen ones never had the 3.0. Biggest was the 2.9.

My dad had a 89 with the 2.9. Traded it in a couple years ago with 370-390K on the clock (can't remember which). Lots of travel time on that puppy. Transmission and rear end were starting to go, though, so now he has the Tundra you see in my avatar (actually, it's technically my grandmas, as he really got it for her, but he drives it a lot [or more so then she does, lol!]).

Hopefully my truck can last that long with the original block and tranny. We will see this weekend.

 

03 Ranger Edge 2WD, got 228k and had the tranny rebuilt once. Has regular maintenance, i'm always ontop of oil changes/sparks/plugs/fluids etc. Sees mud and pavement all day everyday.

 

1993 I'm the original owner and original motor 4.0l.
285,000.

 

I bid and won a 2009 Ford Ranger in COPART auction site that had 329K miles. I was hoping to get it below $1000 but I end up paying $2600 (got excited on bid &#128518. I feel stupid now to have paid that much but when I drove the truck, it has no engine light on and the truck looks fairly clean. It was owned by O'Riley auto parts and I think they just let go because of the high miles. It seems like it will be okay to drive without any major problems for sometime ( not sure how long). I haven't driven in the highway speed but driving around the city feels normal and seems like won't give up on me right away. Some minor issues such as gear shift indicator seems to be stuck on the P, but that seems to be an easy fix. I hope I didn't screw up my $2600 for nothing. Any thoughts on the maintenance by O'Riley guys that they might have used it for hauling parts to autocares and body shops ?

 

My 03 died yesterday at 449,552.

 

My 92 2.3 has just over 700k miles and I'm certain it will make it to a Million. These miles are on the original motor under, runs great, no leaks or issues, regular maintenance, and yes I've put some money in it to keep it in good running condition. I believe any that a vehicle goes only as far as the upkeep done on it.
