Actually I leased the F150. They came out with a $169/mo for 24 months. Cheap lease. So I jumped on it. Part of it was my 2014 GMC was fine with 33000 miles but I did want a back seat and more power just in case. So the lease required $5000 up front, they gave me $15000 for the GMC and cut me a check for the balance, So I drove out with a new truck and $10K in my pocket. Driving this Behind the scene is I might need to spend $18000 for septic tank repairs

The only new Ford car I bought in 1996 went through 4 complete sets of front and rear rotors in 44000 miles, rears went when the car had 4000 miles on it. I do highway driving and have had original rotors go 150,000 miles.

Don, I have 265,000 miles on my 2007 ES350 rotors. I have cleaned them up on a lathe a couple of times and are needing it now but have other more pressing items.

The first thing we do after mounting a new aluminum box is to put a plastic liner in the floor and part way up the sides. Replace about every three years. A lot easier than replacing the floor and the strength of the box is not weakened. Just don't haul big stuff.
