Any high mile V6s out there?

My 2.4 has 276K miles and still strong. Are the V6s that durable? Was about to order a 4x4 AC 2.7 5 spd, but can get the 4.0 6 spd for only $1585 more. I'm willing to give up mpg for more power, but not longevity.

Only 276k? Man, those 2.4's must be weak...

 

Thanks, didn't find that one.

 

Yeah, if it was stronger, I would have driven it farther by now.

 

Keep driving Grasshopper. You got a long way to go.

Just kidding...I think you've got your money's worth...

 

I'll say - It was my Dad's truck and I inherited it in 2003 with only 35K miles. I'm thinking that maybe I should stick with the I4 in a 4WD, assuming the 2.7 will go as many miles as the 2.4. For less than $1600 more I could get the 4.0 6-spd, but I don't know if it could match the 2.7 durability. I do know the 4.0, like the 2.7, was a 2004 2nd gen intro, so maybe there hasn't been enough time for many extremely hi-milers - 300K+.

 

My 96' has a 2.7l...

 

Right, I should have just said the 4.0 was new for 2004. The 2.7 is a bulletproof veteran, which is why it would be hard to choose the 4.0, even tho it's close in price and a lot more powerful.
