Pickup trucks today cost as much as our farm did 30 years ago and the farm makes money.
They are all overpriced.
Guess that is why I still have my 97 F350. Besides, it has no rust and runs good.
I don't have a tailgate step, I use an inverted 5 gallon bucket.
I don't have DEF, no worries there, no emissions stuff to go bad at all.
I have minimal electronics to fail.
My diesel smokes. If it didn't something is a miss.
My 97 gets 21 empty, 16 pulling and 19 with my TC in the bed.
It's been paid for, for so long, I cannot remember when it wasn't paid for.
If it breaks (which is rare), I can fix it myself.
I', real happy with an old school truck and it always gets comments about how good it looks. People appreciate old school OBS Ford pickup trucks.
At 67, I don't plan on buying another This one has been mine since 1997, a 21 year love affair.
Something I find interesting, one of my friends has a new Chevy Silverado Duramax 3/4 ton and his tailgate (steel) weighs maybe half of what mine weighs. He borrowed my Quad a few months ago and my loading ramps and bent his tailgate loading the quad. real strong' stuff there I'd say. I found it funny in a way. I've never had an issue loading my quad in my Ford.
They build them thinner and cheaper every year but the price keeps climbing.
