Plenty of friends have trucks. It seems to be a lot like having an old geezer who always needs attention — hip replacement this month, cataract surgery the next, a stent, a colostomy, hearing aid, new dentures, kidney stone removal...always something, always big.
I’m tempted to buy a truck (new), but I’d still need these friends to load and unload, and they need the money I pay.
Something always needs moving and I’m not build to put a fridge on a truck. Got a trailer, and even that needs a y-chromie to hitch up.
Funny, though, every time I ask someone what I should buy, they recommend something old. Something that’s had more work than a Kardashian. You might drop a bumper now and then, but that old heap is immortal.
New trucks, all brands, are OUTRAGEOUS!
We went looking for a new one in January and February and teh prices were out of this world. They even wanted more THAN STICKER PRICE!
Our 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 only has 96K miles but even with all the little things we have bought, alternator, radiator, water pump, power steering hoses, battery and tires, it’s still runs like a champ. The paint is faded and the clearcoat is peeling like a Spring Breaker after Easter, but it’s solid.........................
