I'm curious to know what you would do?
I am replacing my 2022 F350 Platinum with 26000 miles. I can replace it with an identical truck .... 9 months newer and 1/2 the mileage for $4000 difference .... or, for $14,500 (CAD) difference I can...

How much did you have to dish out for the 2022?
Since 2010 my cost of depreciation, repairs and maintenance has been less than zero.
A while back I think you convinced me your buying new regularly was not as crazy as I thought.
Nevertheless your cost since 2010 has not been zero.
How much have you spent buying your trucks since 2010? Have you simply recirculated the same $50K over that time?
I have to agree that since buying a new truck in 2019 my repair cost have been much lower than when I purchased used late model trucks.
That said, I will hold onto this 2019 until its worn out!
No, it hasn't been zero, it's actually been less than zero. I've spent $364,500 plus tax buying new trucks including the purchase of my 2011 King Ranch in the fall of 2010. If I sell my 2022 now, for what I am offered by the wholesaler I've been dealing with, I will have received a total of $374,000 plus tax for the sale of these same trucks. I'm certain I have spent less than $9500 on tires and oil changes ... I can only remember buying 1 set of tires, plus I have done of few oil changes, which I do myself. The total mileage put on the trucks I've owned in this time period is 224,000 miles. Again, I realize that this is not normal nor available to just anyone. As well, I think the time for this has likely about come to an end ... but it was good while it lasted.
