[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 2846255, member: 4319"] I can't imagine: A.) Paying $50k or better for a half-ton pickup that doesn't come with 2 free hookers. And I mean good hookers with coke habits, not bad hooker with meth habits. B.) Having a vehicle I bought new in 2016 having a single mechanical problem of note before 150k miles. This isn't the 80s. A vehicle should be able to make it that long with no major problems. I have 220k on my 2007 Tacoma. 0 breakdowns. Brake pads and oil changes. Oh...I tore a CV boot bashing through the woods once. I thought it was steep at $26k OTD. I think they've queered the new Taco up too much so I'm keeping mine forever. Any newer vehicles I buy will be 2 or 4 door cars. Possibly a 3/4 ton or better truck if I should ever need one for some reason. Future trucks on my radar are a 70s F-250 Highboy or an FJ60. An FJ60 how I'd want it is way more $$$ than a Highboy the way I want it so I'd probs go that route. Or a 69-72 K20. $25k would do really well on either of those. They are greatly succeeding at pussifing trucks. Gone are the days of rubber mats and stick shifts. [/QUOTE]
