    Yes $45,000 less than a glider and my name is on the title. I have no fixed cost associated with the truck, except insurance and that is very reasonable.

    I don't care if someone buys a new 2015 truck or a new 2015 glider, or run well maintained old equipment. Running old well maintained equipment makes my life stress free. It's very hard to go broke with a clear title and that is priceless.
     
    BAYOU, 281ric and Battle Born Thank this.

    $45,000 - $20,000 (from the sale of the old truck) equals a difference of $25,000. Just doin' the math. Of course, everyone should do what they decide with the money they earned. I am not telling anyone else how to do things. But I think one of these days I am gonna once again experience that new truck smell.

    I respect your decision. If I buy a new truck, I will also have the title. No financing needed.

    I ask the trailer shop las week. It was $12000 for the kit and then 40 hours labor at $85 an hour. That was one they were putting on a step deck. Don't know how much on a flat but probably close.
