I only had to read the first line... Price. No truck today is worth 70 grand to me. Especially when you can buy a low mileage off lease vehicle with a factory warranty for about half of what a new one cost. I believe in letting the first owner/leasee take the depreciation hit. I'm not proud. Bought my last 2 vehicles that way.
One quick observations I've seen so far. Some RVers are over-truck for their trailer. Not my business really. And then again, they must have been able to afford it: the truck, higher maintenance and gas.
Almost tempted myself as first time RVer.
Oddly, I see a lot that are 'under trucked'. Wife and I stopped at Arby's on the way home and 2 large, I mean LARGE pull behind's were in the side parking lot, both being hitched to Ford 150's. Even said to the wife it looks as though the 'tail is wagging the dog'. I've always had a 1 ton pickup but I use mine for more than RV'ing. It's a farm truck too.
And I bet those F150's you were mocking have the same if not higher tow rating as your antique 1 ton truck.
Noooooo!
His antique truck is the holy grail of all that is and all that could ever bee in a pickup truck.......just ask him.
