- GiorgioG 4y agoAnd my 2016 F-150. Bought it used in 2017. I finally changed the front brakes yesterday not because it was necessary but because I felt that it should probably be done on a 5 year old vehicle with 47k miles on it. Took me all of an hour. I’d never changed brakes on my own before (saw and helped my dad as a kid lots of times.)
- Bud 4y agoGetting from 0k to 47k is not the challenge or the impressive part, though. That should be typical, and increasingly is. More impressive is getting from 100k to 147k, for instance.
- bitexploder 4y agoFair enough, most new cars /should/ need little maintenance. On a 10 year time span the number of things that can (and likely will) need maintenance can only be greater on an ICE engine. Ignition systems, emission systems, so many more moving and friction parts on an ICE vehicle.
