[QUOTE="Baja Bucky, post: 1155258, member: 21675"] Just passed 5,800 miles on my new raptor. Mostly hwy driving at 65-80mph in sport mode. I'm right at 16.5 mpg overall running 87 octane the entire time. Just had the oil changed and tires rotated at 5500 miles and switched to full synthetic. I have a friend who is a ford mechanic that recommended full synthetic every 5k (might be a little overkill, but I plan to drive it over 200k so worth it to me). Impressions so far: Absolutely no problems with the truck mechanically so far. Auto start/stop is annoying, so I just run in sport mode. Really glad I went with the 4dr screw; the extra space in the 2nd row and ability to flip up the seats with a flat floor has been really useful. The visibility is fantastic for a vehicle that size, definitely would recommend the 360 camera, I use it everyday with my parking situation. I am really impressed with how quiet and refined the ride is. Really like the Sync 3 system, in fact I like the sync maps over apple maps in carplay. Only wish I could access Ford's nav while in carplay mode and charging my phone. The only hiccup I've had so far was picking up a 2 inch screw in one tire. Had to replace one tire at a cost of $280 (w/mounting and balance). Only mod I have done so far is a stubby antenna (haven't noticed any drop in reception really). Haven't had a chance to do much offroading yet. [/QUOTE]
