70,000 KM update! (WARNING: EXTREMLY PIC HEAVY)

My 2016 F-150 has hit 70,000km! I figured I should post some pictures of it and list some pros and cons. To add some background, I live in southern canada and tow around 4000 lbs 50% of the time.
Truck is:
  • 2016 F-150
  • Supercrew
  • 5.5 bed
  • XLT Sport
  • Most of the options
  • 3.31 Axel
  • Yokohama Winter tires, currently
  • Stock 20 inch tires in the summer
  • 5.0 V8
  • 4x4
Pros:
  • Love the Ruby Red.
  • No problems so far
  • 5.0 sounds AWESOME
  • Plenty of power
  • 3.31 great on the highway
  • 23 mpg
  • Does anything and everything I ask it for
  • Amazing in the snow
  • Just the right amount of bells and whistles to be a luxury truck, yet not too many for me to be afraid of getting it all muddy
  • Weathertech mats work amazing
  • Bedmat works great
  • Turning radius is decent
  • Probably has the most interior space out of any car or truck I've ever owned
  • Tonneau is awesome.
  • Thank god for those wheel well liners.
Cons
  • 5.5 bed is too short sometimes
  • 3.31 Axel makes it hunt a bit while towing.
  • Black plastic scratch easy
Ford knocked it out of the park on this one.
If you have any questions, ask below!
Now pics!

Yes, my neighbor has a 2018 5.0 lariat, yes i am jealous.

Back

Huge paint chip on hood

2nd chip

Smaller chip

Paint seems to be holding up well in the bed, Considering the amount of stuff I throw back there.

Another chip

This tonneau is awesome

Some scratches

Only thing that ever broke.

23 MPG, most people in the US don't know that Canada uses a different gallon measurement than the US. The Imperial gallon there is equal to 1.2 gallons in a US gallon.

Great report otherwise. I've noticed that my hood chips easily too.

Pretty much deduced you were Canadian.. the "km" part gave it away.

This is informative, it tells me how well my Ford F-150 will hold up once I hit 70,000 "kms"

Nice write up sir. I like that you removed your hub caps. No point in letting them get destroyed by the winter.

Funny thing is, that wasn't intentional. The really crappy ford dealership I used to go to lost them. Now I do it myself.

Holy salt, looks just a Michigan vehicle LOL. How do the snow tires do on the truck? Is it required in ON? i live in port huron which is on the US side of the bluewater bridge and we get a few (thousands) of your fellow country men over here and i noticed a good number of Canadian vehicles have snow tires while us dumb americans have none.

Snow tires are great! Not required here yet, but will be next year.

Well the only comment I have is, I am glad you like your weather tech mats but my Huskys are a year older and show no signs of curling on the edges. Tha is why I went with Husky mats.

My neighbor has them. When I get a new truck, I'm gonna try those.
