Coming up on 90K...what preventative maintenance should be performed?

[5280Ranger]

At 97K now...I've done all the diffs, plugs, trans fluid/filter change...coolant looks like new...should I bother? Brakes? My pads still have around 8mm all around and smooth rotors...I coin my driving style, "Hyper Smoothing"... ?

Coolant can look new but same as brake fluid has a “shelf life”. Over time heat cycles and temperature can decrease the properties over time. If you have done the coolant in the last 75k you’re good. Brake fluid is recommended every 2 years. Pads at 8mm are fantastic. I love when people do what is due. If you send me your vin I can run the schedule maintenance per Ford. I differ only because of what we have seen in the shop.

The early Rangers had 100k coolant - sometime in 2021 (I think) it changed to the 200k variant - orange to yellow I think. Sid, since you have an early model, I think it is about time to change your coolant.
