Just washed and waxed. 64k miles. Driven from NY to FL and back 4 times this year already.

Still looks good. The cloth seats are original. No stains or rips.

Looks great! I'd kill for my cloth seats to still look that good haha. Unfortunately in the last 6 months I've had a dang hole develop in my drivers seat! Hopefully you wont run into the same problem down the road!

I'm sorry to hear about the hole. I've seen that on a lot of these trucks. I think it happens from sliding in and out.

My cloth has had 5 years of use and I use it quite a bit. I use the grab handle and kind of pull my self up and out so I never really slide across that area.

It's all good. Stuff happens. I'll just have to get t fixed in the next few months or so. I'll have to use your strategy after I get it fixed!

Looks good. The cloth on my drivers side seat is pretty thin from the previous owner sliding out of it. I threw a towel on the seat and get out the same way you do with the grab bar to try and save it. I'm really wanting to ditch the towel and get a set of Clazzio leather seat covers.

Almost every f150 of this generation I've seen has a rip in the drivers seat. Too bad they didn't reinforce that area a little better.

Nice looking truck!

What's the trick to the undercarriage looking so good! What did you use? I have very slight rust but man that looks blacker than black and I sure would like to know what paint your using and spray or roll on haha

Your truck is far cleaner than mine. My seat hasn't developed a hole or tear yet.

Thanks! On the frame, suspension and axle, I use rustoleum flat black in the rattle can. For the wheel wells, I used the rustoleum bed liner in the rattle can. I've been doing this and doing touch ups every year since it was new, so no rust has formed. I've also used por 15 in a bunch of places that I don't want to have to touch up.

Hope it doesn't sound like too much work. Honestly, I spend about one hour every spring.
