I hit 200,000 miles this week on my 2018 F-350 with 6.7 Power Stroke. For the most part it has been a pretty reliable truck. Below is what it took to get it to this milestone.
-28 oil changes with Shell T6 5w40. This turned out to be about every 7,000 miles when the Oil minder told me to change it.
-10 fuel filters, changed every 20,000 miles.
-10 air filters changed every 20,000 miles.
-10 cabin filters, changed every 20,0000 miles
-1 set of front brake pads due to caliper slide sticking at 167,000 miles
-1 drivers side brake caliper mount
-1 driver's side front wheel bearing
-Upper oil pan leak at 65,000 miles and again at 80,000 miles. Ford gave me a 200,000 mile warranty for this.
-4 transmission drain and fill, with filter, every 50,000 miles
-4 front diff, rear diff, and transfer case fluid changes, every 50,000 miles
-1 sunroof track
-3 sets of Toyo Open country AT II tires
-1 set of replacement cameras due to them being foggy
-New track bar, tie rods, and steering damper at 175,000
-1 new rear taillight
-1 new heated seat module at 175,000
-1 new set of batteries at 150,000
-Radiator fluid at 150,000 and 200,000 plus the changes when they did the upper oil pan
-14 pairs of wiper blades
-3 windshields
Today the truck is running like new. The only issues it has is the front bumper is chipped from rocks, the headlights are starting to yellow a little, and the driver's seat could use a new bottom cushion and cover.
Looks like a lot of what you had to replace (not everything, obviously) was either general maintenance or things just wearing out - which is great to hear.
I am a big proponent of regular, proper maintenance on vehicles - if you treat them right they'll treat you right. Learned it from my old man, who is STILL daily driving his '08 6.4 PSD. Rusting out but still runs like a top.

Exactly, mostly just maintenance. Unfortunately it is due for some maintenance items now. Fluids in front diff, rear diff, transfer case, and transmission. I do all these myself which saves a lot.
On my 17 King Ranch I repainted the bumper and prepped and clear coated the headlights. Had both wrapped in Xpel. I also repainted the hood and Xpel’d it but i am OCD.

Looks brand new.
Good ideas. I will need to do bumper before long. Never thought about clear coating headlights.
