Every once in a very long while we may wander into a dealer for no particular reason then wander back out very happy with what we already have.
It has been very faithful. It gets one very thorough going over every year which will average around a $2000 bill. Every year all filters & fluids changed. Oil changed every 3000. Better than OEM filter used. Things that wear like bushings are changed long before things get critical.
160,000 on it & hope to get 160,000 more before selling it to somebody who likes a big truck but does not need it for heavy work often. Call it retirement driving.
In the meantime I don't even like the looks of the new trucks.
