300,000 Milestone
Well friends it's that time again for a truck update at 300,000 miles. Drivetrain has been spectacular and no drama or serious issues to date. Here's a list of repairs so far after 12 years and 300,000 miles
5 EGT sensors
2 Nox sensors
Passenger side front hub/bearing
AC compressor/Evaporator coil
Alternator
DEF heater/pump
EGR cooler internals
Top radiator hose
Fuel mileage is essentially the same as when the truck was new and truck is essentially all stock except for Bilstein shocks. Fuel additives have been used for the most part as experimental with the exception of using Archoil for the past year and I plan to continue to use it, unless I find something better.

Glad to hear it, I've been trading off my trucks every 100,000 miles. But since they have hit the $100,000 barrier, I'm seriously considering just driving my 2023 for 300,000 miles. That will give me 10-12 years and put me well into my 80's and I may not need a full size truck at that point in my life. Your repairs, don't look bad at all.

Forgot I proactively changed the CAC tube that are a known failure before a trip 5-6 years ago.

I personally believe that Motorcraft parts in general are better than most aftermarket parts with Motorcraft batteries being one of the exceptions.

I believe location and possibly terrain has a lot to do with brake life. My original front brakes didn't make 50k miles as the rotors started to chunk out... due to the salt used during winter. This winter climate is rough on brake rotors.

Wow... My rotors are still original. Not sure how much life they have left, but I suspect they're still good for many more miles.

How is your seat? My '12 KR just broke 100K and the drivetrain is fine other than DEF heater and a lift pump replacement (though I think I have a flaky NOX sensor now). But the upholstery is taking a beating. Last 4 drivers I've had went 200K and I expect this one will as well, but the inside is wearing faster than I like.
