I want a vehicle for towing and hauling in northern climes. That isn’t an EV any way you slice it.

Just bought a big ol gas guzzlin Chevy 2500 with a 6.6ltr power plant.

Gotta great price on it right about the time the supply chain issued started.

I hope I run this one as long as my 2005 chevy 1500 Silverado. Just crossed 300K. Engine rebuilt at 224K. Been one heck of a truck and she’z still goin.

"Gas powered used pickups are never going to depreciate. if you can get one do it." I agree and plan on sticking to my old pre-computer rigs.. Unfortunately there will come a time when these are everywhere, they will force us into it one way or another.

My lease on my 2019 Toyota Tacoma Sport 4wd 6 speed manual is up in September. It only has 14,000 miles on it. The buyout option is $26,000. I will be buying it. The 3.5 6cyl/ manual transmission combo will last many years.

They’ll take away our gas. Try to force us to their unicorn machines.

My buddy totaled his 2005 Tundra a little over a year ago. It was in pretty good shape body and interior wise but 1/4 million miles on it. While he waited for his insurance company to chime in we looked up Bluebook. It was around $5,000 if not a bit less. Well in So. Cal the Insurance payoff was nearly 12K. Market based they said. No complaints from him.
