    Any "Bud" beverage gives me a headache. I only do imports. This is my choice of adult beverage.

    Never buy a used truck without running a dyno on it, that couple of hundred bucks will tell you most of what that engine is doing and how well it is doing it!!

    $285,000 is what I paid and worth every penny, to me.
    This picture is the day I picked it up at the plant. image.png
    I won't speak for anyone but myself, but here is my reason.
    Because I could!
    Really the only reason I need to give since it was my money that was spent.

    I do feel that many times a used truck might be a better option for some people. My case is a little different. To get exactly what I wanted and needed, I had to order it. I planned for it to be my last rig and over the life of the rig 10-15 years or so, the total cost of ownership won't be much different than buying several used rigs.

    When you make a statement inferring that anyone who does other than you do is wrong, it really shows your lack of understanding of others business needs. Everyone is not just like you are and all of our business models don't look like yours. We all have different priorities and what works for you may not suit me or the next guy.
    The little or no experience or L/P doesn't apply to me as this isn't my first rodeo, but it is my last.
