I'm hoping for 250k+ miles or at least 12 years or so as a daily driver, road tripper, and off roader. However if gas becomes ridiculously expensive in the future, I might give it up earlier.
My work/daily driver currently is an 09' VW rabbit (inline5 2.5L) with 229K miles (it's made me a LOT of extra money with work reimbursements at 57c/mile). Outside of routine maintenance and replacing each wheel bearing once and each CV axle twice (and an AC compressor at 150K miles), I've never had any issues with it and it's still running well and hopefully will get me to this time next year when I'll finally get the Bronco. It still has original suspension and is only on it's second battery. If I can keep the drivetrain of a notoriously unreliable VW alive and well for this long, I damn sure hope I can get the same out of the Bronco. Or maybe VW's are reliable and their owners suck, who knows.
