You got me beat .... my 85 Jeep Cherokee only has 160K miles on it! I am going to rebuild the engine this summer hopefully since it has quite a bit of blowby, probably bad rings since it sat for six years in a co-workers driveway until I bought it two years ago.
Yeah, my main vehicle does have 210K on it, but we also drive a lot the '98 Nissan Frontier truck (206K miles) we bought in 2004 with 100K for the kids to learn to drive, and drive standard. Don't forget my '71 VW Convertible which "only" has 141K, or Mrs. Consumer Products Guy's 2005 Yukon with 170K.
I also bought a future truck 4 years ago, a 2004 Frontier with 5 speed and 4-cylinder, only 90K miles, looks practically new. And don't forget the 1970 VW with 260K on it that I bought back in 1970 and hope to get back to running shape as a fall project.
We did buy a 1984 Jeep Cherokee in 1988 to have as family vehicle, I liked it a lot, but couldn't tow a horse/trailer except local because that was over its capacity as it was 5-speed (GM V6 engine - underpowered, 4WD 4-door). Back in those days both Ford and GM did not see the potential of mid-sized 4-door SUVs....like when I was in Mexico about 1996 and saw 4-door Nissan and even Datsun-labeled 4-door trucks before they were available in USA....
