If you had to drive a vehicle from one year only

[montesa]

You can have any vehicle brand new that was made any year and has to be before 1998. I chose that year to eliminate the first year Toyota Tundra.

You have to maintain it yourself and drive it daily for the next 20 years. What would it be?

I would probably choose a 95 F150, extra cab, short bed, I6, 4x4, manual everything.

Possibly a similar Chevy from the same year. Possibly a Toyota from a little earlier. But they can't tow anything so probably not.

I’m gonna have to go with a 1953 Corvette. Not sure if I’m over stretching the rules but it would be my pick as long as I could also have a truck for fishing and yard work stuff. Being 55 and retired I could definitely manage it for the 10-20 miles a day I drive.

I’d choose the same one I did drive. A 1997 Dodge 3500 extended cab 4x4.

That's sweet. If I didn't need a bed I would consider a bronco.

What engine is that? Does it require much work to keep going?

What color? 350? auto? Any mods you would make?

You can still have both

Arrest me Red with black across the bottom and a black vinal top. 350ci, 4-barrel carb, auto and I'd leave it all stock - other than the stereo. lol
