Slightly irritated with my first maintenance on 2024 KR
Hey All,
So I bought a King Ranch this past fall, had in on order for 6 months or so. Got the maintenance package with the truck and first thing I asked was what is the interval for maintenance. I'm not completely useless doing maintenance but I don't service my own vehicles. I was told the following,
A. The truck will tell you when it's time, and
B. 7500 miles is good rule of thumb
So I never got an oil or maintenance light and I'm at 7523 miles. Booked service and took it in. Talking to the service rep he told me that the interval within the truck's computer can vary, perceived weather, temps, etc have an impact on that notification. I was told that after 12 months I will def get a service notification, but again 7500 is a good interval.
When I got in the truck the mechanic posted a window sticker reminder for 5000 miles. WTF?!? I'm not trying to be a dick but damn I paid a lot for the truck and I just want to be clear what Ford's recommended service interval is.
rant over.
p.s. I did just call and speak to the service manager. I was clear to say I am not complaining about anyone that touched my truck, I just want a clear answer to what should be a very common question. Looks like every subsequent service I will have to be sure I ask for a 7500 window service reminder interval sticker.
