The Ford F150 series of light trucks have been in constant production for decades, as of September 2014. They have been offered in both automatic and manual transmissions, and 2 and 4WD. Automatic transmission life for example is dependent on multiple factors. Certain Ford transmission years and transmission types have be highly durable. Determinants to an automatic transmission's service life include use/driving habits (towing versus highway), fluid temperatures, routine fluid and filter changes. It is not uncommon for modern automatics to attain 200-300,000 miles alone based on fluid and filter changes.
This depends largely on the care with which you take care of the Ford (namely, routine checkup and careful driving). Usually, it can lasts a decade or two with good care.
Ford F-150 trucks are rated 500,000 miles but it all depends on maintenance.

98 ford escord transmissiom dose not shift the last gear.
I believe 1996 was the last year Ford produced the 2.3 L - 5 speed manual transmission - 4X4 Ranger
The last model year for the 4.9 liter / 300 cubic inch straight 6 cylinder engine in the Ford F-150 was ( 1996 )
I have a 1996 explorer with 265,000 on her with original tranny and motor
Impossible to say. If it was totally rebuilt and done correctly, with proper service it should last as long as a new one. If it is a used transmission, who knows.
The best pickup truck is probably the Ford F150. The F150's powertrain from all generations have been known to be very reliable and last long. I have a '02 F150 with a 4.2L V6 and I run it every day and it has 567,993 miles. It still runs strong too. The F150 also has the strongest frame in its class, being a fully boxed frame. Fully boxed frames allow for industry leading towing and payload. The Ford F150 has that. Now, the second best truck would probably be the Chevrolet Silverado 1500.
Yes , with the manual transmission , 1996 was the last year for the 2.3 L - SOHC - 4 cylinder - 5 speed manual transmission - 4x4 Ford Ranger
A Ford Explorer will last as long as the owner takes care of it. You will see some transmission issues with the 1997, but most will last 250k to 300k and over. Change your oil and check your fluids on a regular bases.
