    Sure! I will praise God for that! The German 4L 4X4 still runs great!

    Getting up there towards 100k. The Ford Cologne Germany V6 engine. Good job Germany! I have only used Mobile 1 Synthetic motor oil in this engine and she still performs as new…

    My 2011 Ranger with the 2.3L/auto, bought used (48k) in 2014, is at 157k. My dad bought a new 1992 Ranger, and after he passed late in 1994, I took it as part of my 1/3 of his assets - neither brother was interested. It had 6k then and rusted out at 156k in 2006. Bought a 2006 Mazda with 21k, same 2.3L/5-speed as the 1992, and it began to fall apart at 165k eight years later. ~480k miles on the 3 machines (counting dad's 6). Just right for me, holds about 1/4 cord firewood though I usually carry less, and with 200 lb logs in the bed, it's never been stuck outside of our 2000 ft gravel road, including the notorious "Mile Hill" on the road to Augusta (Maine).
