“Best Buy” Pickup At 315K

“Best Buy” Pickup At 315K TRUCKS Miscellaneous Lawrence Krantz Moran Mich : “My 2010 Ford F-150 with 315 000 miles is the best pickup I’ve ever owned I change the oil every 4 000 miles and the oil that comes out of the engine is almost as clean as that going in I put on most of the miles pulling a 16 ft flatbed trailer hauling a vehicle a small tractor or some piece of equipment The most I’ve hauled is 10 000 lbs The truck gets 15 mpg with a loaded trailer and 18 mpg when it’s empty I’ve never had transmission problems I’ve changed the transmission oil every 50 000 miles and never had a speck of metal on the magnet The only parts I’ve replaced are wheel bearings and actuator hubs The truck has never been in an accident although I have hit a few deer that haven’t done any damage because I’ve got a brush guard on the front I drive a lot so I made a simple air ride system for the bench seat I put small 4-in airbags under each corner and operate them with a battery-powered compressor My wife says my truck rides better than her new Jeep My grandson has an F-150 with 390 000 miles on it that he bought from a guy who ran back and forth to Alaska It runs great and doesn’t have any mechanical issues either I think the slogan ‘Built Ford Tough’ definitely applies to their trucks ”
