Would you take them on a 5000 mile road trip with no worries? Would you consistently stay in the passing lane of a posted 80mph speed limit? Does the car have the same or near same feal as it did new with performance & handling? I would luv to set my sights high on my Acura in signature & also push my Explorer till its wheels are ready to fall off. What are some of the pros and cons of running, operating and maintaining a 200 thousand mile plus vehicle in general?
My Camaro has 232,000 miles on it and I still take it out to track days 4-5 times a year. In May I took it on a 2000-mile road trip and didn't carry any tools.
My Dodge Ram has 268,000 on it and I do cross-country tows with it a couple of times a year. I just did a 1400-mile tow to Massachusetts over the 4th of July weekend. I set the standing mile record at the Ohio Mile with it when it had 235,000 on it (136 mph is not too shabby for an old truck).
