Excellent! That makes my truck low mileage by comparison. I have a '97 4WD 5.4 extended cab 3-door with 154,000 miles.
I've used only synthetic oil, except for the break-in period. I change the oil at 10 or 15,000 miles.
I have the 17" tires. Some of the Goodyears lasted almost 65,000 miles. My new Michelins should last even longer. At 35,000 miles they show no apparent wear.
A couple of other notes:
The fuel filter is a real hassle to get at on the 4WD. You have to remove the skid plate to get at them. Brilliant design there! Make sure the shop really changes it and doesn't just fake it.
The spark plugs are even much worse. See my other messages about the friendly Ford dealer faking the changing of spark plug #8. If they did it to me, they'll do it to you! It's a real hassle to get at the one in the back.
