I have a 22 year old Ford F150 that still runs pretty good. 5 speed stick.
Low miles - 170,000

I can’t see spending $69,000 on any vehicle.

I can’t see that kind of money on a pickup truck.

My UK based facility manager who is here for a few years just bought a quad cab Ford F150.

My 22 year old pickup is a small one, a Chevy S10 5-speed stick. Has its original mileage of 52,930. It’s not anything fancy and has only been used to haul stuff short distances, first by my Dad and now me. I hope it lasts the rest of my life.

I just moved from my 200+k gmt800 chevy to a gmt900 luxury truck.

I thought like you. Then i experienced the difference.

Of course I’m still running a 363 v8, and not one of those strange turbo 4 bangers.

Concur. I have a ‘95 F-150. 163,000 miles. Still cherry. Paid $16,000 new.

And, unlike the new trucks, I can park it in my garage.
