Default Inline 6 Mileage

I just purchased a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with 124,000 miles for my daughter. This is an exceptional vehicle with high mileage. How many miles can I expect to get out of an inline 6?

Thanks.

the 4.0 in my 92 4x4 has over 200k on it and still runs strong, just leaks oil from everyplace imaginable and my wife's 1999 GC laredo 4.0 has almost 150,000 on it. the 4.0 is a reliable engine and I wouldnt think twice about driving either one of my 2 jeeps anywhere.....

My 4.0 only got 78,000 on it then it blew . I did burry it in a 5 foot deep mud hole when it happened though.Blew rods through pan. My new 1 has 75,000 and Im gonna 4xs that on this 1. 4.0s are great motors. Lesson learned , run a snorkel.
