    Hello everyone!

    I'm not planning on doing anything special to my truck just trying to maintain it properly and get the most out of it. Truck does everything I need it to do and nothing more. It's perfect! I really love this truck.

    Some background on this truck. It is a 2015 2wd base. No options at all not even rear seats haha. This is my daily driver. I purchased this in January of this year with 8k miles on the clock. According to the dealership, this truck was purchased new by an older gentleman who unfortunately passed away shortly after. His family took possession of it and it was used as a secondary vehicle for many years until it was traded in. It was very clear it had been stored outside for those 8 years. When I took it home it had mouse turds all in the cabin and engine filters, but luckily no wiring damage. Took me forever to clean all that out. Needed a blower motor too. The undercarriage has some oxidation on the bolt heads and the engine and what not, but nothing even remotely serious. I will be getting a full detail before the winter for sure, i'd love to have a clean engine bay.

    Since owning the truck i've put about 5k miles on it. It has about 13,600 now. I've done 2 oil changes, one when I bought it and one just recently. I will likely be replacing some fluids early just because its been sitting for so long. The tires need replacement asap as they are the originals from 2015. They're very dry rotted. Before winter, I'll be undercoating the truck with some sort of fluid film type stuff, detailing it, and getting some fresh tires.

    Anyway, just wanted to share my truck with you guys. It's not anything special but I love the thing. Hope you all have a great day with your tacos :cool:

    I like it. It's all you need in a truck. You got the bed length, a reliable truck, no bells and whistles to break. Nice find!
