Two years ago today, I picked up my HPR Scab. I special ordered it about 30 minutes after the order bank opened as I have done on several new models. Supposedly was the 1st Scab delivered in Tx. and was the 1st one received (Vin seq 3840) by a member on here. As of today, only issue was battery and bms were replaced when typical ASS quit working. 25k miles with an average of 22.1 mpg (I never reset my mpg) as a running total. Probably 70/30 in town on the road usage. 2wd, locker, tow, as I never have needed to use 4wd on any of my trucks in the past. I have been thru 2 big snow events, for anyone south of the Mason Dixon line anyhow, and had no issues at all. If I lived in the UP Mi., it would be a different story, and I would want 4wd. No issues of fuel dilution, trans shifting funny, paint peeling, (A few rock chips sure) but none of the major issues you read about. It's comfortable, easy to get in/out of spots, handles well, runs good and tows great. My wife and have taken several 2k mile type road trips in it. She has a bad back but prefers it to her Edge ST or previous MKX. I just changed the oil for the 4th time (I do it myself and it's Easy) including engine and cabin air filters. I have some detail supplies coming and will give it a complete going over and be ready for another 2 years. Best upgrade was the Eibach shocks/struts, marked improvement. I LOVE this truck.
