Just got a new to me '05 Red AWD manual this past weekend and so far we're loving it. My wife has named it "Boron", given that its an '05.
Its replacing our well loved 1997 Ford Ranger that started making some nasty sounds from the transmission. We both like the E TON's better. Its got just as much hauling ability and is so much better as an everyday car (4 real seats, AC that works). Our beagle is still getting used to it though (he liked the bench seat in the truck better than buckets).
Just did a bunch of maintenance on it this weekend to bring it up to my standards: oil change to synthetic, coolant flush, and I removed the stupid "tornado" from the intake that the previous owner had installed. what a joke.
Planning on doing diff fluid and tranny fluid change this coming weekend. Anything else I should do, its at 57k miles right now. I'm debating whether or not to do a brake fluid flush.
