I got a 108 000 km on my 2004 Ranger. Somehow she puts up with my abusive ways :D

Just turned 180,000 miles on my 01 Pontiac Grand AM.  Bought it in 03 with 56,000 miles one.

I haven't really been sold on the new 3.8's although I have heard more good than bad about them.

I've driven a few with the 3.8.  It's OK, but the only benefit I see over the 4.0 is improved gas mileage from the more efficient overhead cam design.  I prefer the low RPM torque of the pushrod 4.0 in a truck and, for me, the simplicity and durability of an L6 will always win out over a V6.  

If I put a lot of miles on my Jeep, my opinion would possibly change.  I average about 16mpg in the XJ.  That's not very good for a 3000# truck.

I put a fair bit of mileage on my Jeep- it's my daily driver, and had 111,000 miles when I bought it almost two years ago, and I like the 4.0.  It's bullet proof, and I know that every time I turn the key it'll fire up without complaint.  The only time it didn't was when the battery finally gave up the ghost, and even then, it was in -20 degree weather.

I's not the smoothest engine I've ever driven, but I'd rather be shaken at my destination than on the bus!  :P

Hmm, I think I'm near 76000 miles on my 2001 Honda Accord.  My mum purchased it new, and it's treated me very well since I received it from her; even after the dud transmission was replaced, it still drives as well as when it was first purchased.  :)

Correction for me:  I'm just over 70.000, and no where near the 76.000 I previously posted. XD

I'm sure my Jeep will still be going at 300k too- partly because the thing is indestructible, and partly because I couldn't afford another car to save my life!  :P

My '97 Toyota T100 has 231,028 miles now. 
I would be hard-pressed to come up with another car payment now.   :-\
