Total newbie and know little to nothing about car maintenance. We got a good deal on a 2012 Exp Limited in great condition with over 100k miles. Bought mainly to serve as a tow vehicle for a pop up camper (3000lbs dry). So far it has been great and seem to perform perfectly towing etc.
While I would love a brand new 2020 Exp fully loaded, financially, I need to make this 2012 last. So... A few questions:
1. When driving over 60mph+, we notice a metallic type 'whirring, whining' sound coming from the rear undercarriage. Rear differential? (Again I know nothing). What could this sound be from and should I be concerned?
2. What are some low cost maintenance, checks, optimizations etc I can do to ensure this thing lasts as long as possible?
Any advice appreciated!!
