I drive a Ram diesel pickup and a Jeep Wrangler. The Ram has about 40,000 miles but the Wrangle is approaching 160,000. I priced a Toyota Tacoma with 4WD and cloth seats. $56,000! Replacing the diesel pickup is > $100,000. Who can afford such prices?

Picked up a few older rigs, 2500 or less. Been rebuilding them over the last few years. Currently working on a 92 F-250 7.3l 4x4. Putting on a rust free body and fixing all mechanical issues and some preventive. Sand blast frame and repaint from bottom up. Will end up with a rust free great running truck with only 5-6k into it.
Will end up with 4 rust free great running trucks for future use. Maybe have 25-30 k into all 4. Should last me the rest of my life. Plus just scored a perfect rust free like new Lincoln Navigator 4x4 for 10k They are over 100-120k new.
People are stupid paying the prices dealers are asking for new rigs. Plenty of options if you have any skills or brains. You could almost pay someone to rebuild you a junk yard truck. With new crate motor and trans and paint for 50k or less.
