Rolled 113K today…heavily modded since the very beginning. Zero major issues…I’d drive it anywhere.

Not sure I'd buy any used car with over 150k miles. You have no idea how it was cared for or what problems still lurk. That said, if that's the only way to get into one, then I'd say those miles are mostly highway and so far, these Explorers have been going over 100k miles with no issues.

Not mine! I'm at 60K miles and have had numerous powertrain failures and repairs. No mods, no towing, no off-roading and no racing. I won't keep it after the warranty expires.

I should have been more clear. No issues after 100k. I had most of the usual problems myself but it's been solid after 60k miles.
