These things that you boys are talking about are not trucks. They are SUV's with a bed.
A truck typically has dents and a rust spot or twelve. It has a rusty chain in the back, a tire tool, an opened bottle of motor oil, some skeeter spray, a cricket cage, hammer head with detachable handle, axe head with a detachable handle, a piece of wood/post, some wet pine straw, various bolts/screws, an empty viener can and empty American beer bottles or cans. I took inventory.
A whiskey bottle may be in a brown paper bag behind or under the seat.
There is a little vent you can open on the window for the air to blow in more. The A/C either doesn't work properly or it doesn't have one, so that will come in handy.
Usually, it was made before 1980 and you have to roll the windows up with a handle, not push a button. The back seat is the folding chair that I failed to mention that you keep back there with all the other stuff in the bed.
No offense, but typically, pussies don't drive trucks. They just think that they do.
But the F-150 SUV sounds really nice. Carry on.
You just described my first vehicle, without the rust.
1979 F-100. Three on the tree. 302 V8 with NO AC.
Prattville, Alabama. black. Vinyl seat. I could drive that thing with only 6 inches of my ass touching the seat in the summer.
Now I got a 2003 F250, 6.0 diesel with 150000. Love my truck.
And Buzz, those Tahoes will run well into the 200K range. I have a buddy still driving his at 235K.
The key to any good vehicle is, is it paid for!
Being a Ford man, it would be tough, but I would have to check out Dodge's new 1500 diesel Ram truck. 27 mpg in 4X4.
