200,000 invested in the Ford Raptor

[J.Bodolay]

I was hoping to have the '17 Raptor I ordered arrive before I hit 200,000 miles in the '11. Looks like It'll be at least 1 more oil change before I see the '17.

You must be one of the higher mileage trucks. Any big $$ repairs in that amount of miles?

5k rotations
Regular Balancing, frequent alignment and PSI checks
Interstate driving.
Ample room between me and traffic. << <#1 benefit
I avg. 50K per set of tires all 37": BFG AT, GY Kevlars, back to BFG AT
(GY Kevs had tread left but would not balance after 60K)

That's correct. Work truck, primary use: Virginia highways. She loves our seasonal snow and the Outer Banks sand. She dislikes wet Virginia clay and hates having the ignition turned off.

Mods and most usage have been for work related purposes.

It's good to see those numbers and she's still going strong.
