11 months today, 19,000 KM. It's the most I've put on my past to trucks in such a short time. We've always been a single vehicle household, so it's the daily driver. I've always liked driving, so this truck, has brought that passion back big time.

Feb 15th will be my 2nd anniversary with the truck, probably have right around 35k miles on it by then.

Still absolutely adore the thing ?

It's probably pretty close to being my perfect vehicle..

Acceptable D.D mpgs, pleasing interior, quick, capable off road, and can trailer home whatever old piece of GM garbage I can get my hands on ?

41 months and it just turned 30,000 miles last night. I still love this truck as much as I did the day I bought it. Of course my bank account t doesn't agree with me but hey I'm still smiling which is all that matters! ??
Hi Dave,
Are you doing a fuel induction service for 30K miles? It run like new after I had it, the only thing I didn't like is the dealer service charge to do it.
I had 31K miles and loving this truck. In fact waiting till the Bronco has no more wait so we can order one for the wife.

Hi Bladimir,
Yes I've been thinking about it since seeing your post the other day. I'll have to call this week and see how bad the damage will be here to do it. But it needs to be done and it cost more in the long run not doing it. Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years!!

24 months with 30k miles, still smiling.
Wait, not true, I'm really worried about:
Paint chips
Brakes
Broken rod
Tranny
Oil in the gas tank or is it gas in the oil tank??? Hmmm.
Tire size
Lift
Damper
HVAC
FX shocks
Door fitment
Battery
MPG

Man, I love this truck!
Happy 2 Year Rangerversary,@CB750F!!!:party::party::party::handsinair:?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year as well, I will need to figure out how to do this fuel induction service at home or maybe my local mechanic!!!

Ourisman Ford in Alexandria Va quoted me $600 to do mine. I declined as the service tech could not explain exactly what they would do and if it would remove carbon build up on the intake valves.

But I am about to turn 40k miles and having this service as well as replacing transmission fluid is on my radar.
