    Mine a 2023 XLT. With just 9,085 miles today. Stock, no suspension mods, nor special tires. Hope no issues w CVs. If there is, whether Tremor or stock joints, would think newest shafts install, wouldn’t matter as newer shafts probably more robust than these 2023 OEM shafts.

Come back and an oops in financing, like raise interest rate...
