While picking my son up at school (a 450mi round trip). It runs and rides as good as new. Best thing I ever did was install Michelin LTX's it glides at 80mph with them on. Also, the same trip with another vehicle would kill my back but not this one.

 
Hit 100k the other day...

I hit a 100k a few weeks back. This truck eats miles like it does fuel.

Yeah, it averaged only 14.5 on the trip which is awful. It's deceiving...the engine loafs along at ~1500 while cruising and rarely goes over 3000 rpm everywhere else and it never seems to be working hard but it gulps fuel like it is. I wonder what a godzilla 7.3L gasser F250 would do on the same trip.
 
60Kn on our 2020 this week. I love driving it and I want it around for years to come but I’d like to slow down on adding the unnecessary miles haha.

Probably close to the same - my ‘22 7.3 F250 averages 12.5 around town so I’d guess it would be in the 15-16 range on the highway.
 
Same as mine as the pics above show, normal oil pressure always sits on the low end of the gauge. I wonder why they didn't make normal pressure sit right in the middle.

Like the opposite of this :)

 
Love those Michelin's. Pretty much ever car we've had, Euro or Japanese, always stick with Michelin tires. They simply ride better and are build with better quality control all around.

Best tire you can buy. Does everything. Doesn't look the part, but much like the LC....if you know, you know.

Not my pic. I grabbed it from Mud but it's made the rounds in other discussions of Defender LTX.
