I bought a used one for a few grand a couple of years ago. It is my first truck. I had planned to use it just to move stuff, but now it is my daily driver, LOL, I swore I would never be one of "those" types of people.
I live debt free, at first, because I had no choice, but now, because I can.
Being a debt servicing slave is a drag.
Old trucks do require a little TLC but $50,000 for a new one I’m way ahead.(It’s a 4WD Diesel.)
