> 283 thousand something on my '92 Ford Ranger. Wish that I’d took care of her, as is, I’m in need of another vehicle. I don’t trust her for long trips; her gas mileage isn’t what it used to be; and she occasionally makes a funny clattering noise in between 45MPH and 75MPH.

304,000 on my 91 Ranger, which I bought new. Still driving it everyday. Not as much power as it used to have, but the mileage never dropped. I averaged about 27,000 miles per year the first 5 or 6 years I owned it.

200,000 on my 88 Ranger, which I’ve had for a year (it was given to me). Drives just fine, but it has an electrical problem which I need to diagnose. Oh, still on the original clutch, which I assume is paper thin.
