Snake Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 My best truck was a 95 Ram, first year of the new body style. Had the bulletproof 318, got rid of it with over 300k. Replaced a lot of parts but none seemed to be premature. The POS Ford is next, with Chevy being the pile I regret most. If I ever buy another, it will be a Tundra or a Titan. Fuck this shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d have to be a sucker to buy a new bmw. A lot of those top the depreciation list. Used is the way to go on them. You can find them all the time at half the sticker a couple years old and low miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The X5 has more electronics than 10 trucks, and the bother of twin turbos to boot. Still... no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backup camera went yesterday on the explorer fortunately still in warranty for another 1500 miles, electronics is why i put the 100k ESP on it, as that can be real easy tr real pricey.

If it wasn't for the handful of times i've been inconvenienced by not having a truck bed i would say i can pound it for another 2-3 years and 50-60k miles but one day I will go and pull the trigger on a new pickup i am sure or I need to find a good enough deal on a used one to dump the boys jeep and let him drive the pickup so i have one in the household.
