2004 Ford Explorer 4.6
By Robert | on 4/15/2025 11:08:46 PM
I bought a high mileage Ford Explorer V8 about three years ago. It had 220,000 miles. It now has 258,000 and still running strong. It got me through the past winners with flying colors. Yeah Ford has their hiccups what car doesn’t but as long as you keep putting whatever it needs into it it’ll last you forever.… - 4.0
