i love my 96 trooper but it has 215,000 miles. how many miles are they known for getting? ive already changed the timing belt.
That depends on many things. How well the vehicle has been maintained, how many miles per year you put on, whether you live in a dry or wet and corrosive part of the country, and your driving style.
In addition, you need to be able to get parts for an agiung vehicle, since all vehicles need regular part replacemant. For instance th vehicle should be on its FOURTH TIMING BELT by now.
Having said all this, I’ve seen such vehicles go up to 400,000 miles with proper care and regular parts replacement. Most drivers can’t be bothered to do this, since it requires constant attention.
If you visit Havana Cuba, you’ll see that cars virtually go forever, since there are severe import restrictions on new ones.
