Serpentine belt/radiator hoses - 122000.
Rear brakes - 132000.
Alternator - 160000.
Full tune up - 160000.
Front brakes I'm doing again next week at 177000 or 178000.
Besides that, a few sets of tires, oil changes, trans filter changes, coolant changes etc.
General comments?
I've had it since brand new, and has never disappointed me. No major problems yet, and I'm commuting 1000 miles a week in it.
Comfortable seats, nice interior.
Never had a problem towing, and hauling heavy loads, and the transmission still shifts almost like new.
Definitely seems more worth it. And very reliable for a gas powered engine. Seems more reliable than a lot of the diesels Ford, and other manufacturers are putting out, that have lots of problems, and spend a lot of time off the road.
I'm keeping it until it becomes a problem, and I have to start putting a lot of money into it.
