Doing the MPG math on a new(er) truck
Greetings, Recently I was getting the 'itch' for getting a newer truck. My old Ford 1997 F250HD has served us well. We bought it in 2001 for $12K with ~92K miles on it and now it has ~124K miles. ...

Personally, mpg is low on my list of reason for a new truck. With all the EPA stuff on the new trucks, I'd get as many miles out of my old truck as possible. We typically run 3-5,000 miles a year. With new trucks running $65,000 I can easily put $10,000 into a "mini restoration" and come out years ahead of this game. The engine and drive train will outlast the body, so a little bodywork will keep me in truck for years to come.
