1992 D250 Cummins, 5spd, 217,000 miles and tow only about 7,000 wet. Our big trip last year I knocked down 13MPG to Wyoming and back.
Why do I have it? Love old full size trucks, love being able to work on them, love no sensors, love no computers onboard, uses the same oil and filters as our equipment at work uses so get freebies when the mechanics show up, love getting 20MPG empty yet having a 8 foot bed, love no DEF and No Smog check.
Why dont I get a new truck? Wife has a new Tacoma and while another payment wouldn't be the end of the world I just cant see it for me. My truck get used at work, around the house and property, always hauling stuff and just dont want to worry about keeping a new truck new.
