    The 2020's are starting to grow on me but I don't think I'd buy one either. There's no individuality between brands anymore. 15 years ago you could tell a Ford, Chev, GM and Dodge apart from a mile away. Now they all look the same.

    I put a lot of miles on them. Now I do a lot less. I like to try and get 250-300,000 km out of my vehicles before I replace them.

    You’d be insane to pay for a brand new truck during this time with the prices of these bloody things....

    Trying to find a used small bodied 1/4 ton 4x4 for my daughter - almost cheaper to buy full sized, and a lot easier to find without high miles.

    better off just looking at lightly used 1/2 tons

    I just don’t know about the reliability side of anything these days.

    Idk how they can keep going up in price. It’s getting to a point where it can’t be feasible for people to pay $75-80k for just a pickup.

    Nice.! :thumbup:

    I can tell that's a '13-'18 because of the kink in the shifter, & newer dash..
    Makes me sad that a full size American made pickup can no longer be bought new with a standard.. What have we come too.. :confused:

    This was a '12 dually. Least amount of cattle prods I could find.
    Manual trans, manual floor mount transfer case lever, no tpms, no esc/traction control, no front or rear park sensor, no camera. Power steering, windows, locks, mirrors w/heat, & HVAC. & in dash CD player & satellite radio.. Just enough conveniences, no bs except for the emission junk.. Decent truck..
