Just bought used at 34,000 miles.

Hello. Just bought a used 2021 with 34,000 miles through Ford's certified program. The things looks like it's been well maintained by previous owner. I'm wondering if there's anything i should do maintenance wise now? Should I trust that the oil is good? The spark plugs? Anything I should do regardless?

I like doing oil changes every 5,000 miles so I'd hold off until 35,000 for that. Don't forget to reset the oil monitor.

In terms of the oil, that was my thought process as well. I'm thinking at least pulling the psark plugs and just looking at them as well.

Totally replace the spark plugs ($48 or $100) and add the Ford engine cover ($200). Plug cost dependsbon going stock or FP's colder version.

With the Ford Certified program what extended coverage do you have?

Congrats! I just bought a ‘20 with 35k miles.
Nice enjoyable pickup so far.
I would do the oil change to use your oil and be on your time frame. Its good insurance.
Have fun with it.

At 34k miles, it nearing time for the 2021 tranny issues to start showing up. Not to worry, you're covered and the current version has been updated. We are long past the days where the Dealer would give us a runaround. I was in & out in 6 days.

Excellent. First hint of any transmission issues get it in.

Yes,very aware of that and I'll monitor it closely. The warranty definitely helps me sleep better.

Change all fluids and plugs. You are over 30k.

Congrats on the new ride. I purchased a 2020 about a month ago with 50ish thousand miles. It had decent maintenance records but I also opted to purchase a 4 year, 48,000 extended warranty just in case.

Recently I took the truck to the local dealer for:

-Transmission Flush
-Coolant flush
-Oil change

the service writer said she recommended both flushes at 50k. Pricing wasn’t too bad and now it’s peace of mind that all fluids are new.

 

[Canadian Ranger]

Fluids....oil, transfer case, and both diffs asap, I'd put the transmission fluid on your to-do list.
I don't know if PA is in the salt belt or not, but I'd start a yearly undercoating with a lanolin product.
