My 25252.5 mile review

[Anton4]

Back in April I posted my 12345.6 mile review. With over double the mileage…here is an update.

It runs great and performs well. I use it like a truck, so it has seen a lot of stuff in the bed…firewood, stone, trash, tree limbs, etc. I also often pull a trailer. I’ve had some minor issues with paint chipping (as others have) but it doesn’t bother me much. I bought a touch-up paint kit and deal with it.

One thing I’m happy about but,I thought was odd…I originally received the recall notice for possible holes in the gas tank caused by the bed liner installation. I put off getting to the dealer because they couldn’t provide me with a loaner vehicle. A few months ago I was in for an oil change and inquired again about completing the recall. They checked the computer and told me there was no gas tank recall on my truck. I’m assuming Ford must have refined the recall parameters and found that mine wasn’t affected. I’m just glad I waited and didn’t have the tank removed for nothing.

I‘ll be driving it south for a couple of weeks this Winter, so it won’t be long before I hit 36K and the end of my warranty. I’ll post another update then.
