How many miles on your high mile F150?
I have an 06 F150 with the 4.6 V8 and it just hit 280,000 miles. Engine and transmission have never been into and no leaks, ticks, or rattles. Never had any problems, this truck is truly bulletproof. I actually just took it on a 1000 mile round trip through the mountains, didn't even break a sweat. Naturally my front end is shot and my rear end is as well (bye tax return) but this truck is amazing! I was wanting some of yalls experience! How many miles are on your high mile F150?

My 2003 4.2L 5speed is at 205k. It was retired last April when I bought my new 2016. I drove it Sunday and that 5speed is still more fun than my 5.0L automatic.
It's been involved in 3 big accidents.
1)Got spun around at 60mph on a wet road (going too fast) went backwards through 3 concreted in fence corner posts, the kind made of cutoff power poles, put it in first gear and pulled out of the ditch. Had to cut off the mangled exhaust right at the axle. Never went to the body shop.
2) hit a deer at 65mph. It jumped up on the hood and caved in the front left fender and put a football sized hole in the windshield. I drove to the body shop and got it fixed.
3) Got T-boned at 20mph. Woman hit me right in front of the driver's side rear tire. Didn't cause much damage but ruined the wheel and tire.
So far mechanically it's been really good.
The slave cylinder went out at 60kish Warranty replaced. Then at 150k the alternator quit, luckily I had a wrecked 1998 ranger in the yard so I just swapped it.

I'll take the trophy now.... My 2011 XLT has 287k. The trans and engine have never been broken into short of the engine front cover in December. The truck has had the "5.0 knock" since almost new and still runs great today.

206,000 miles on my 09 F150 crew cab with the 5.4. Reman engine installed at 150,000. Timing chain jumped and messed it up pretty good. Just had the LF brake caliper stick and smoked the brakes and the rotor. Just tonight finished replacing both front calipers, rotors, and pads.
