What’s Your Favorite Truck?
I am currently without a truck and without a RV. High Schoolers life, I got a Senior and a Freshmen in school. No time or $$ to camp. One in Band and one in football. Best years of my life, but it...

My favorite - The 1967 Chevy C10 with shell. Straight six, three on the tree, and a manual choke. It had been my grandad's truck and I got it after he passed. For a while it was more reliable than the 1983 Rabbit GTi I had at the time.
Least favorite - 1983 F-250 5.0L gasser my father owned. The carb/smog combo made it prone to stalling mid-intersection. My ex-brother-in-law was furious I sold it when it was time for dad to change trucks in 2007. I didn't feel it was safe for any family members, and I knew my BIL was lax in vehicle maintenance.
Highly appreciated - Dad's 2007 Toyota Tacoma base truck plus auto trans and air conditioning. Could not believe the value of that truck at roughly $15.5K out the door (while dressed up 4x4 CC Tacos went for $42K). My BIL got even with me as they got that truck when my father passed, and then kept it for less than a year.
I'm still very impressed with my Expedition coming up on 5 years of ownership. Quiet and comfortable, just a little short of oomph for towing in tough situations. Determined to keep it for at least one more season.
Best regards,
Chris
