I am reasonably certain that I hold the record for the least amount of miles driven since their Ranger has been placed in service/first registered of any forum member.

Yes, I've owned my '20 Lariat for 28 months now, it's been driven a whopping 417 miles to date.

Can anyone disprove my claim?

Jeff, you still haven't even broke it in yet? :shock:

I really can't wait to see Sids @Msfitoy response! ?
Just to heed my selling dealer's cryptic warning, I replaced the engine oil and filter on 1/18/21, exactly a year after I took delivery of it.

The drained oil now resides in my lawnmower's and 2 emergency generator's crankcases.

Yes, after 28 months, it still has the wonderful new car smell, am awaiting Sid's observations as well!

It is good to drain the oil and replace it if it's sitting a lot.

I only say that because he always laughs at me when I post my mileage which is at 21,562 right now. He's going to have a ball with yours. lol ?

I thought mine was low but that is LOW.
I think I hold the record...I use my beater '02 CR-V for daily errands.
The farthest the Ranger has ever been driven was like 60 miles or so, Kaimuki to Kalaeloa and back, to have the bed spray lined.

Would you believe that I rode in a Uber duty 2019 Hyundai something or another that had been driven 101K miles just last month?
Realize that this was all Honolulu urban driving, the equivalent of 300K mainland miles...
The car appeared to be still tight and rattle free...no, I am not rushing out to buy a Santa Cruz...thanks

Funny Topic - And here I thought here’s one I might win.

‘20 Ranger - Owned 26 months and just rolled over 2000 miles. Serviced the engine 3 times and serviced the rear end once.

But 417 miles - Now that’s low. I can relate to the new car smell though. Mine is parked in my shop so it never sees daylight - Luv the new car smell.

Funny Topic .. .. ?

Are you in Kaimuki? I'm in Palolo Valley.
Actually at the very beginning of Palolo (2 blocks mauka of Waialae)
I may have seen your Cactus Grey Ranger in the valley before...there's a white Bronco on Pukele and a white Maverick on 8th...
