I paid a little more for my 08 F150 than I wanted a little earlier this year. It was $Mid teens. But it only had 64,000 miles. It’s a pretty basic truck with XLT trim, power options, and a SuperCrew cab. but is exactly what I wanted, what I needed, and more importantly what I could afford.
I could have pushed my budget and got a new F150 but the $25k I saved can be spent on something else.
I know that this is a towing/RV forum and lots of folks on here have to have the latest and the greatest and the most powerful. I’ve seen it over and over on this forum through the years, people hear their truck working on a hill after they tow for the first time, get scared, and go spend 65k on a truck so they can pull up a Hill 15-30 seconds faster. That’s all fine and good, But for a lot of people older pickups get the job done while saving buckets and buckets of cash.
I do like seeing people buy new trucks. There would be no used bargains if people stopped buying new trucks. ;)
Thanks!!
