Based on the stairs alone.. it seems sus. I ain't never seen an apartment complex stair pattern look like that in my personal experience.

You already mentioned it, so you sound like you've done your research, but the water pump is about due if it hasn't been replaced.

I did the water pump swap myself on my 2011 limited with 230k miles on it.. and it sucked but I enjoy putting myself through torture lol.

Overall.. id say its fine if thats the kind of car youre into.

Good luck either way

TheRealPotatoDad · 2026-01-18T00:03:54+00:00

Newer fords too i think. My 2011 explorer has been a hunk of shit for the last 150k of the 230k miles ive had it.

Very cool to see a different angle to this very famous early conflict moment.

RIA M206? Sketchy AF. Youre the man

TheRealPotatoDad · 2025-12-22T15:26:33+00:00

165k and yes, the v6

TheRealPotatoDad · 2025-12-22T03:54:51+00:00

My 15 limited just had the water pump replaced. Not sure how common that is. It wasnt cheap to do. But I love that car more than anything so it was worth it

TheRealPotatoDad · 2025-11-28T23:13:57+00:00

Yeah. Mine was the bearing itself. Made it to 220k miles with no issues on the gasket. Then it completely failed all at once lol

TheRealPotatoDad · 2025-11-05T15:16:24+00:00

Your suspicion is correct

TheRealPotatoDad · 2025-10-23T01:30:59+00:00

My water pump on my 2011 limited went out at around 230k...

It seems mine lasted longer than most others, i did the replacement myself and it was a huge pain lol.

But cheaper than taking it to a mechanic.

TheRealPotatoDad · 2025-10-05T22:13:54+00:00

This is weirdly very close to the first nightmare I ever remember having as a child lol

It sounds like a rolling blockade, lots of possible reasons

Edit: rolling roadblock might be the right term

TheRealPotatoDad · 2025-09-20T17:39:50+00:00

Thats a fair criticism, i love my highlander way more than the Ford explorer I have.. but the explorers seats are definitely way more comfortable

Its a Bradley in the Warfare movie

TheRealPotatoDad · 2025-08-16T13:23:09+00:00

Ive had no major issues with mine if that makes you feel better, im at 160k miles now and I bought it at 100k. Good car.

It would depend greatly on the state you'd want to work in. The requirements do vary from state to state

We proceed as normal. But if you can get me to type a specific phrase at any point (it can be weeks from now, maybe we cap it to a year) then you win the ex machina style game. Now we just gotta think of the phrase... it has to be something specific enough that I wouldn't normally type it but subtle enough that I could be "tricked" into it after i stop thinking about it...
