Five year old 2021 with 23,000 which is mostly from long road trips. Twice from So Cal to WI exploring Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and the Dakotas. Then one up north thru Canada and down south thru Kentucky and back to WI. Not many short trips with the truck. Only fun and adventure with it. I think the next trip will be to the PNW.

Seems like you might be in the minority here. By the sample of replies seems most Rangers are fun and adventure vehicles before daily drivers. So glad to hear you have 150k trouble free miles. Based off my other Ford trucks I am expecting the same will just take me 20 years to get there, but the truck may out live me.

The only “broke fix” issue in that mileage was a driveshaft center support bearing started growling and I had Ford put a whole new OEM shaft in. It is on the way to the dealer as we type for complete fluid change. It goes in every 5000 miles for whatever it needs. Can’t say one bad word about this truck.

So true, maintenance and fluids are the life blood of any vehicle. People will neglect their vehicles and then complain the are POS. Take care of it and it will take care of you in most cases. There is always the chance of a lemon vehicle, but for the most part with all the technology in cars today they are a lot more reliable then in the good old days.

Edit
Do it yourself or let a mechanic do it but just do it.

I’m sure you’ve seen my quote on 60+ years in maintenance which is “how well you take care of the machine determines how well the machine takes care of you”.

Yeah, i don't drive much. 😊
Maybe I'll have 14,000 in 5 years.
That's where I'm at now except 6 years. I bought an extended warranty when I bought the truck (unlimited miles and time)..
I've always ran out of time on most vehicles in the past.
