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.

There are exceptions to all rules, but the largest repairs that have been made to my '88 Pony is the clutch has been replaced 2 times, the fuel pump I think either 2 or 3 times and rebuilding the front end a few times (ball joints, tie rods, and steering rack).
