Hey folks. New to the forum, really like readin’ what other owners have to say. I have a 2018 King Ranch Fx4 that I got brand new 02/28/19. I have a company vehicle, so this thing is low mileage (13,000 so far).
Here’s my situation:
I took my truck in to the dealership for free oil change and paint protection application. Guy tried to sell me the “15,000 mile Maintenance Deal” for $700 and change. Said that was a big “NO”. Agreed to have all the filters replaced for $245. When I picked it up, the service rep said it was more expensive doing an oil change and fuel filter changes on an F150 diesel than it is on an F250 diesel. I have also hear that the 250’s now have the ten speed tranny, they git up and go, and they get pretty good MPG. I will admit that 250 is more truck than I need, but if it’s cheaper maintenance...
Is there something I’m missing? I also don’t think I needed filter changes at two years and 13,000 miles was not really necessary. The truck has been to El Paso (I live in Fort Worth), Brownwood, NE Oklahoma... decent amount of highway driving.
