I got my 03 about 2 years ago with around 160,000 miles. Now have almost 184,000 and aside from problems with the right front suspension and wheel bearing everything seems good. Good power trans is still solid which surprises me knowing them they way I do. Only issue I have with the motor is the oil pressure is down from 60-70 psi at 2000 rpm to 40-45 psi at 2000 rpm. I believe that is because the Ford dealer I bought it from in Iowa put 0-20 semi synthetic oil in when they changed the oil and I didnt realize that until I was about half way back home on the 465 mile trip.
