So last week I was in a pretty legit accident. My truck is most likely totaled so i'm on the hunt for something new. It might be the concussion from the accident but i'm thinking about switching to an SUV. I've driven full size Ford's for basically my entire adult life. Never had a single issue with one of them. But damn, they are EXPENSIVE. I bought my last one (2012 FX4, fully loaded) while I was still married. I can't justify taking on that kind of debt again on my single income. There are a few decent F150's out there but in my price range, the mileage is higher than I would like.
So, has anyone switched from a truck to an SUV? My girlfriend or whatever she is (its complicated, to say the least) says I need to get another truck or I'll regret it. I agree with her but part of me keeps coming back to buying an SUV. Maybe like a Ford Escape with AWD for
20k and low miles. The best deal on a F150 i've found with under 50k miles is around 30k. I can swing that but is it really worth it???? I hunt and fish and used my truck but outside of my hauling my four wheeler, most of the stuff I do doesn't REQUIRE a bed, its just nice to have. I'm also hesitant to spend 20-25k on a used F150 with 85k+ miles, which is about all I've found.
