I haven't been home much for the past month, but now I'm back and that means it's time to pile more miles onto the F-150.
First, though, I need to complete the 30,000 mile service (current mileage is 30,761). This is just an inspection and a tire rotation, so I decided to do it at home. I was pleasantly surprised by the service at my local dealer, but doing this at home is free and it's the same amount of time as driving to and from the dealership.
As usual, the truck is perfectly healthy. The only thing that caught my eye was the left rear shock, which seems a little moist. The internet seems to think all OEM Ford truck shocks are all prone to leaking, and claims Ford won't warranty them until they get pretty bad. Still, I'll email my service advisor and ask if this would qualify for warranty replacement.
The truck's tires are finally showing some wear, too--the front and rear centers are at 6/32 and 7/32 respectively, but the front shoulders are nearly bald, likely because I've spent thousands of miles in this truck driving twisty mountain roads chasing modern Porsches. Every Classic Motorsports Road Tour is basically a week-long grinding session for the front shoulders. I'll try upping the tire pressures and see what happens. Time for more front camber, maybe? 
I haven't started researching replacement tires yet, but shockingly my first instinct is to put the exact same thing on it again. These are quiet, comfortable, efficient, sticky enough, and tow well. And as hard as I drive and as often as I tow, I'm not that unhappy with this rate of wear, either.
