My sister was out looking to get a new car yesterday since her lease was up. Found this in the showroom of a Ford dealer in Columbus, looks like Ricart Ford. Thought it was pretty interesting...says 706,272 miles...appears to be an '01-'03 XL 4-cyl...

 

Geeze. I wonder how much they are selling it for?

 

They need to send a letter to ford. I'm sure they might have, but still. 700k is a TON.
I'd like to see all the documentation on that truck tho.
Nice find either way.

 

Pretty cool seeing such a high mileage truck like that still going. Wonder who was able to rack up that many miles that fast

 

Whats up with the rear bedside? Looks like it was pulled in the front. Thats pretty crazy though!

 

Who knows....I know I put about 50K a year on my work vehicle and I thought that was a lot...lol. I've had my new Escape for a little over a month and it already has 4500 miles on it.

 

Ford probably bought it back to see where they went wrong.lol. Closed plant up now so it wont happen again, now we know why.

 

holyyyy!!! thats alot of miles!

 

More proof that the 2.3 is a tough engine. I doubt if the truck is for sale, they probably will just leave it in the showroom as a display. I did see a video on youtube awhile back of a E250 van that a guy used for expedited delivery and lasted 1,250,000 miles or so before the engine finally went....I'll have to look that up

 

Heres it is....

And in Ohio to. Damn that things been taken care of!

 

That's pretty crazy! I wonder what kind of maintenance schedule they kept.

 

That's a lot of miles!

 

I looked on there website for it and it wasn't there so I am guessing they aren't selling it.

 

It looks like a tire blowout caused that. If you look at the rear of the wheel well, you'll notice damage there, too. My previous truck had the same damage from a blowout, but it didn't damage the front of the fender well.

 

What do you expect outta a truck that has 700,000 miles? I guess you could call this showroom condition since its back in one...

 

I'm not surprised. Our local parts store has a few with around 370k on them and they're running fine

 

Wirelessly posted

That's what i figured. 700k and something had yo break along the line

 

Thats why I want a newer 2.3 ranger for a dd
