My '93 Escort was actually the exception to my Ford story. The engine spun a bearing at 101,000 miles. (Oil level was normal; never found out what caused it.) This was 10,000 miles after the A/C compressor seized up, and about the time the transmission started shifting funny. Since then I've owned an '86 Ranger, an '85 F250 and an '83 Ranger that all passed the 200,000 mark pretty much trouble-free, and my '96 has over 165,000 miles and only recently had the transmission die after spending its first 75,000 miles towing something heavy enough to need trailer brakes. I had the tranny rebuilt and now use it only for hauling or snow driving.
