Do fluid film now

Yeah, don't overthink it and if you want to prevent put really almost anything on it. Some Rustoleum rust reformer would be good if you scuff up/prep the surface before applying or just do some Fluid Film and then re-apply every few years. Something is always better than nothing with rust...

Do it and fluid film it every year

In my personal situation, looking to just keep 1 vehicle for everything. Don't care really about mileage, just reliability. Interesting though that you say the 200 (I have a 2013 LX) is better for daily driving. The only drawback I could think of is size. I recently drove a brand new Sierra and...

I'm actively considering a used F150 Raptor or a new Ranger Raptor but can't justify the cost. Would just get lower mileage and get rid of around 100K. At that low of mileage you aren't likely to run into any big problems but I still have more piece of mind with my 200K mile LX570.

Time to sell the vehicle

Best advice secondary to an inspection is to buy from a long-term owner private party.

Happy to see you're a member on here and good luck with your sale. It's always best to get firsthand info.

Doesn't look terrible but some of what I'd consider the more important pics/angles are of bad quality. Conveniently, the clearest ones are of a tow hook and the engine bay, lol.

Gas stations love a fully loaded up 200 series! Or anything with the 5.7 lol. 😆

Less owners the better (the type of owners is way more important than the mileage) and be sure to comb through the service records for anything that pops out. I was lucky enough to find my 150K LX from the original owner who was religious about maintenance (prior 100 series owner) and had the...

Yeah an old bolt that's seized seems to give a lot of people problems. Or just rounding off the top

Isn't the labor and headache alone of having to possibly re-do it if they don't last worth $500?

18mpg is quite....impressive but not unheard of on just the highway. Have you tried only driving downhill with the new tires? On a more serious note, what was the load range/weight of the old tires vs. new?

Do that and don't overthink it. Such minor rust. It's literally under the car and it's over 10years old if it's a 2015.
