I've had my '95 150 XLT,300-5-speed,4WD, since '96. Over 200,000 miles on it. Tranny has been rebuilt once, switched the auto hubs to lock outs, replaced alternator and water pump. This year I replaced the original brake hubs, calipers, and pads. I don't remember ever doing a brake job on the front, and my mechanic buddy thought the pads were original. Last thing I did was replace the clutch m/c pushrod. I think that is not a bad record for a 20 year old truck, with that many miles. About $2,000 spent in repairs in 20 years. Yep, they are some pretty tough trucks.
