2003 ST with 190K miles (original owner)
My ST has been pretty reliable over the past 12 years, but I've never driven it on a trip farther than about 600 miles (round trip). I'm now considering a 1,500 mile trip and would love to take my ST rather than rent a vehicle. (FYI - this would be in early Sept, so might be hot weather)
Do you any advice on this? Considering the age and mileage of my ST, am I just asking for trouble by taking it on such a trip? Of course before attempting such a trip I would have my mechanic do a thorough service on the truck. Other than the obvious things a mechanic would normally check, are there any ST-specific items that my mechanic should pay attention to before I take it on the road?
Thanks for any advice!
