I sold my GTI and now we’re sharing one car (sucks more than I thought it would) so we’re hunting for a $15k pickup truck. Tell me about yours.
I bought a 2005 F150 Supercab XLT 5.4 brand new as a divorce present to myself and drove it until 2019 putting 253,000 miles on it, often towing my bass boat. The motor still ran but the timing chain wore a hole through the valve cover and it began spitting oil all over so I junked it. It was too big of a job for me to get into. I bought the same truck 2010 5.4 version in 2019 and now have 196,000 miles on it.I sold my GTI and now we’re sharing one car (sucks more than I thought it would) so we’re hunting for a $15k pickup truck.

I’ll tell you about my cheap old truck that I bought. I had a 2020 F250 XLT crew cab. We moved to a house with a narrow tree lined drive with a tight turning radius and no garage space big enough. I sold it in 2022 for what I bought it for and had a lot of equity in it. I bought an 1988 Land Cruiser FJ62 from a bring a trailer auction. Flew to Wisconsin and drove it home. I love it!I sold my GTI and now we’re sharing one car (sucks more than I thought it would) so we’re hunting for a $15k pickup truck. Tell me about yours.
I wouldn't sell it to anyone I like. Sure!Wanna sell it?
Why a pick-up truck? Do you plan on hauling a bunch of stuff?I sold my GTI and now we’re sharing one car (sucks more than I thought it would) so we’re hunting for a $15k pickup truck. Tell me about yours.
Yeah house truck, pull the boat here and there.Why a pick-up truck? Do you plan on hauling a bunch of stuff?
I’d go buy a used Toyota
And there are loads of them sitting on dealers lots.
These are cool but I’m finding them over 15Love my 2017 Honda Ridgeline. Wanted a truck for fishing and the locked trunk in the back fit the bill perfectly, along with great under the backseat storage. AWD is a nice benefit also. Rides great due to its unibody construction. Getting about 19mpg around town and 25 on the road. Biggest issue with the Ridgeline is cost in my mind. But I love my truck.
I'm sure! They're usually way over that unfortunately! Hope you can find something.These are cool but I’m finding them over 15

Couldn't tell you, not interested in vehicles, all they do for me is take me from point A to point B.Which engine in the 2003?
my post-retirement job is with an auction company and repos are through the roof right nowI've had Nissan trucks now for about 40 years. Started out as Datsun, then Nissan Datsun, now just Nissan. My current Frontier has 148K on it, it is paid off, still runs great. Hoping to get 200K+ before I buy my next one.
Prices right now are beyond nuts. Read something the other day that new cars have gone over 80 days on lot before being sold, on average. That's a BIG deal. Auto makers base their costs, etc. on about 50-60 days on lot. If this trend continues look for prices to start to fall a bit. Rates have already come down.
I also read that the auto industry is currently experiencing the highest default rate on car loans in history.
Strange days indeed...
