Maintaining higher mileage trucks
2011 F150 5.0, 90,000 miles. I'm happy with the truck and at 70, not too many more years of towing. I'd like to ride it out with this vehicle. I've been OK with dealer service and they are convenient...

I'm not one for preventive maintenance. I think you're best off financially by driving what you have and if something breaks you get it fixed. Whether you use a dealer or not to do the work is not going to make a huge difference one way vs the other. Say you have terrible luck and over the next 10 years you spend $15,000 in repairs going to the dealer. Now assume an independent shop might save you 50%....Is the possibility of saving 7k in expenses over the next 10 years worth fretting over?//
