First Oil Change

Gents,
I’m new to the area and looking for any recommendations on a dealer to get my first service done on my 22 350 PS DRW. While I try to avoid dealers I do have the Ford Points from buying the truck I’d like to not go to waste.
Locals here in Northfield suggested I drive to NH or up to Burlington, but wanted to ask you all.
While not time critical I would like to get it done in the next couple weeks so I can store the truck for the winter and keep the salt off it.
Appreciate your time!
Obie

Good morning Obie. Welcome to the Vermont chapter. I personally do not have much experience with Ford dealerships. Another member, Shawn in Montpelier, goes to McGees for service on his 6.7 superduty. We have had our 2015 explorer worked on for warranty stuff at Heritage and Lebanon Ford. I have a friend that works at Lebanon also. Experience was probably a little better at Lebanon. For an oil change, I don't know if it would matter much which you go to.

Awesome, I appreciate the welcome and the information!

I’ll probably just make an appointment in Lebanon and enjoy the drive. Leaves are starting here in Northfield.

I'm seeing more color in Orange now also. Unfortunately some fungus or something affecting a lot of the sugar maple leaves so they are turning yellow/brown with holes and falling off.
