146k, no major problems. Did a water pump because I thought I saw a drip and didn’t want to take any chances. Also did a throttle body because of the problems with those. Also did front brakes because .. 146k miles lol.

Other than that, just routine maintenance. This truck has been great.

You are correct....salesman forgot to mention that when I bought my SCAB. But it was substantially discounted ($10,000) versus a SCREW.

I've heard people mention this, but I think it depends on what you want and how much you're willing to finance. At the dealership where I bought my truck, as an example, mine was $31,800. '16 XLT Sport FX4 5.0 with 19,700 miles on it. $32K is the most I wanted to spend, period.

Looking at their inventory, the closest thing I could even get to this would be an STX with a 2.7, and it's still $4000 more than I paid for my truck. They don't even have a supercab with a 5.0 on their lot apparently, and TBH I don't know how much I like the '18 styling.

2015 here, build date 02/2015, purchased 03/2015. I had one TSB done at my first service for oil sensor leak which I didn't even notice, and that's it. 91k problem-free.

this info with the crash bars is spot on, you can watch the crash test videos on youtube, big difference... my 15 with 25k miles has been 100% trouble free, couldnt be happier with it.
