is it safe to drive from new orleans to fort lauderdale in a 1999 ford taurus with 155k miles <><><><> Impossible to answer without knowing the condition of the car, and how well it has been maintained.
The Owners Manual cites green (conventional) and yellow (long-life) for Taurus / Sables
The average life expectancy of an engine in a Ford Focus is around 150,000 - 250,000 miles. You can extend the life expectancy of your engine by making sure you do regular maintenance and upkeep on it.
200k
The life expectancy of a 1998 Ford Ranger typically ranges from 200,000 to 300,000 miles, depending on factors such as maintenance, driving conditions, and usage. With regular maintenance and care, many owners report their Rangers lasting well into the 15-20 year range or longer. Proper upkeep, including oil changes and addressing repairs promptly, can significantly extend its lifespan.
Does not have them. Greased for life.
Mine is at 260000
The Taurus SHO has a timing belt that must be replaced every 100,000 miles. All other Ford Taurus's have a chain that should last the life of the engine.
I had a 1996 3.0, I ran it on my job several years. It had 397.988 miles on it, then my daughter drove it another year. I still was not afraid of the car. It still ran great when I sold it.
13 years so far with 200,000+ miles.
200,000 miles is average with normal maintenance.
The Ford Taurus does not have a timing belt, it has a timing chain. The timing chain is designed to last the life of the engine, and does not need routine replacement.
