2001, 3.0v6, 70,566, 70,566 and the dam thing is going in the shop at the end of next week to have the clutch replaced

140,000 on my 99 4 cyl. 60K of those were with 33" tires. A few thousand were off road RACE miles. I love ford. My old S10 went about 50k. If they just went to an external slave, we'd be in business.

My Grandmothers 92 Explorer Sport was at about 200,000 before the first clutch

How about you try 283,000 on for size. 1988 Ranger, 2.3, mazda 5 speed, daily driven for many many many many years and abused some in the mean time. And at that point it was only replaced because the trans went out, and it was still the ORIGINAL FACTORY clutch. We bought it with 80-100 grand on it, clutch never replaced. The crazy thing was it still had grooving left in it, it wasnt slick yet.

Yep, me too. My slave went out right around 302,000. I replaced the clutch and had the flywheel surfaced as I was in there anyway, but they both really looked fine. The truck is a 1994 2.3; just plain driven all of its life, never abused. The darn thing still has the factory rear brake shoes on it, for Pete's sake; they weren't worn enough to replace on the last brake job. Do I love Rangers? Does a bear shit in the woods?

does a bear shit in the woods. haha I love that

 

[slisdexia]

98 Ranger 4x4 with 31s, 120k or so 03 4x4 with 245s 60k and it can't get over a curb... should never have sold my 98 it even had a truetrac in it. damn it

 

[93 Green 4 Banger]

i have a 93 with 184,500 miles on it and it is still the original clutch

 

[Simple_serf]

98 with a 2.5...174K miles. And that was only when the slave blew. Clutch still had some life left in it.

 

[91exploreron37]

My 96 ranger 2.3 had 130k miles on the stock clutch before it was totalled. My explorer only had less than 3mons and 1k on the new clutch before it went out and there wasnt anything left on it and it put grooves in the flywheel.

Well, it's not really a very useful question, since it is a VERY strong function of driving conditions. Especially, lots of highway miles with very little shifting can make the clutch outlast the vehicle, even for several hundred thousand miles. Lots of stop and go traffic can make a clutch last quite a bit less. Riding the clutch can kill it in just a few miles.

My clutches typically last a little under 150K miles with daily heavy mountain driving (this involves lots of shifting), for all the vehicles.
