The answer is nowhere near enough. Had it brand new bout 3 months ago now done 15,000ks already. Washed her once. Dirt adds character....

Are you just gonna trade it in after you've payed it off and let it be someone else's problem? I plan on keeping mine well after 5 years, well so I say Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83599-how-often-do-you-wash-your-utes/#findComment-1350401 Share on other sites More sharing options...
