Every new truck out there regardless of brand name sux ass. Take a brand new chevy in the field and plow with it, and I garuntee something will break before your done with the front forty. Blakes, I have an 88 F350 with a bored out 460, its a 4x4 and it gets 4mpg if im lucky. havent used it since gas cost around 2.70 a gallon and it went thru 30 bux a day just going around town.
    Dont laugh! All of its paid for, and some of its still kinda new. (cept for the 372's in the box, there still extremely new.)

    You can't appreciate what you can't afford.

    I had a 75 IH 4x4 one ton dually chip truck with snow plow. They were all good they were easy to work back then (incl '80's) cause they were always crapping out on ya.

    I drive a Silverado 2500 4x4. I love it. Leather seat's that are heated (for when it is below 60 degrees), and all the coolio stuff. 10.4 mpg gas.
    It is a 2006 and I got 216,000 miles on it. This truck is 'tit's' but the owner wants to replace it at 220k miles.

    I have enugh in the bank to go buy one right now with cash, so bite your tounge. If you gave me one, or if I happened to win one some how, I would sell it for cash asap, and use the $ on something that would actually make me $, like gee, IDK, anything . When some new hot shot shown up on our lawn when the old man retired, looking to buy some of our stuff, that was still new then, he was bragging about how he just bought some new pickup trucks. Dad looks at this "up and comer" and says, "pick ups dont make you #### in this biz, what are you doin here?" Kid says "I guess I just dreaming", Pops says, come back when you wake up. Pick up trux r next to worthless, IMO, unless your using it to deliver firewood, forward brush to the clam truck(when mini is too slow and acsess will allow), or grinding stumps. Do you ,(vet) have any idea what kinda problems Ive seen people have with this new crap they make these days? Might as well have a made in china sticker slapped on it. One guy I knew had a complete brake system failure on a bought new chevy at 9k miles. computer BS. warrenty work. at 30k, HAPPENS again!!!! You know how much $ you lose with that kinda down time? My close friend has a new Dodge with the diesel, Dont get me started.., Theres more, gimme time , Ill remember.....oh by the way, I chipped and cut and loaded some trees today, wash rinse, repeat Vet my oldest sister is older than you

    Banging chicks ????? Anyone who uses that line to another group of men prolly ain't banging anything but his hand ... Maybe out in West bumble#### that may sound cool but reading that post made me giggle alittle , so good luck with that

    New company truck ...

    Debi wanted a VW bug for her 50th birthday. I got her a Chevy Colorado instead. She was mad at first but after driving it for a couple of days now she loves it. Most importantly it will pull the tractor to the jobs. I was asked earlier for a photo in front of my house, so here it is:



    Had the eight wheel kit put on the Steiner as well. To hot to work again today. The truck gets 17 mpg on evaluations driving it like A.J. Foyt would.

    And the eight wheel kit is supposed to do what? Oh right, added stability for toting that one moldy 12" log around the yard in the Steiner's tin "slip scoop". This must be what it looks like when meth heads win the lottery...

    I would have just gotten one of those motorized wheelbarrows (those are pretty cool actually), and saved a ton of dough... but hey, whatever.
