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. ...

We were considering going to a 2WD (lower) F350 and maybe switching fuel.
Sure, while newer and fancier does have its merits the cost of 'newer' can pay for quite a few trips and repairs on the current (very reliable)rig.
We may still 'upgrade' once the daily drivers are paid off. In my mind you can't put a price on easier to get in/out of and more comfortable. I just wanted to share my math (and reasoning) with others.
In the meantime I added AAA "Platinum+RV" this year. We may never use it but I can't put a price on 'peace of mind' ether. :)
