How is that thing still drivable? It's a ford..

Impressive mileage tho! You must have a long commute or drive a lot for work

Does anyone know where the shudder comes from when accelerating from a stop? Seems like only long box trucks have this issue? Also, the oil level is slightly low after each oil change (5k). I would assume this is normal since the engine is up there in miles?

Can't imagine an Eco doing the same.

There have been a few over this mileage that are EBs and to replace the fuel pump just because is ridiculous.

It doesn't seem like you need advice. You've done pretty well so far.

I think this thread deserves a picture of the truck lol, that is a ton of miles. You're well on your way to have driven to the Moon and back.

I don’t know which is more impressive, that many miles or that you took the picture doing 120kph.

Amazing, simply amazing. How many 3.5 EB owners will ultimately claim same?

Mine is 6.2 vs 5.0 however at annual rate I'm accruing mileage (now at 7.2k total since new), it won't reach 375k for well over 100 yrs. I'm 70 now - um, think I should worry???
