Is anyone towing with an older pickup truck.
A few years ago I purchased a 1999 GMC Sierra heavy half ton, (sometimes referred to as lite ¾ ton) Z71 4x4. Since that time, I’ve completed the restoration process the previous owner had started...

You asked so I'll vote -- you've got it fixed up and it fulfills your needs. Keep it.
I have a 2004.5 Ram Cummins, 2nd owner. We got the new truck fever for a few months awhile back, but we only drive it 4-5K miles per year, so we couldn't justify $60-65K out the door for a well-equipped new diesel truck. We talked ourselves down off the ledge, LOL.
Yes, now and again I have to drop some serious money in it -- just had all AC components replaced, cost a grand. But that's way way less than the cost of a new truck. Not to mention the higher license fees and higher insurance. Plus, the new trucks are so much longer than ours, I would have difficulty fitting them in the garage. And I would hate to buy a new truck and park it out in the AZ sun!
Good luck with your decision!
