It's because you dirty latinos don't believe in birth control!

that's one stereotype that doesn't apply.

I am half and she is full on white. Plus, I am too cheap to have more kids.

Then tell your Mexican half to wear a rubber!

Why are you even talking about the total price? All I care about is the monthly payment. As long as I can afford the payment and have $75-90 left over each month for an emergency I'm good to go.

The Tundra does have the worst fuel mileage but I like that they hold value over most any trucks of the same type.

I say go for it. Sounds like a good deal. I've got a 2009 5.7 with 210k miles. I've always been a F-150 guy but I got a great deal on this one back in May (had 204k) miles. I know the guy who had it and it was very well maintained. Overall I've been impressed with it and it doesn't leak oil. I think I'm more impressed with how it runs considering it has 200k+ miles. Good trucks even though they do get not so good gas mileage.

Bump that down to $20 and get even more car. That covers a Dr. visit.

No offense to Jared, because his truck is pretty awesome, but I really don't think those F250 4x4's need a lift kit. Maybe a level and slightly larger tires, but that would be all I would do to one.

Mine is purpose built for what I use it for now and what I will use it for over the next several years. It certainly is much more capable now than what it was with just a level and slightly larger than stock tires.

What seems silly to me are the jacked up mall-crawlers with "just make it taller" lift kits and huge rims/less tire, so they are actually less capable off-road than they were from the factory. But, to each his own. It doesn't appear to be a trend that will die any time soon.

I plan on keeping mine for a very long time. It's insane what new ones are going for.

New truck prices are nuts. Hell used ones are too. I've been looking for the last year for a clean 06-07 crew duramax 4x4 with low miles and the nice ones are still pushing $30k. I've kinda talked myself out of it at this point since I drive so much it would have "high" mileage in no time. About the only way I could justify one is a second vehicle and then a little 4cyl taco for a daily. But those things are 20k new....

At this point I'm going to drive my silverado to 300k and then get a brand new one to do the same.

Based on what I paid for mine at 7 years old with 120k miles, it was about 70% depreciation, overall. So I wonder if the 2015 Z71 will be in line with that, at about $18k, in 2022.

Easily. You can get a 2012 right now 4x4 z71 with those miles for under $20k. It doesn't take that long to depreciate by 50% but They do seem to stall and hang on to value around the 10-15k range.

Right now I think a great buy is the 04-05 Tahoe's with 130k miles for the $7-8k range. I have seen a few as low as $5k. They bring about 60% of what the equivalent silverado's bring it seems like.

I sold my 04 earlier this year with 97,000 miles, loaded silverado, for $15.7 and had a ton of calls on it. Anything older and under 100k miles is gold. I'm trying to line up a more base model 04 with 95k miles for under $11k. My schedule and his aren't lining up but I could flip it for a couple G's with a quickness.

I've gone back and forth on replacing the truck since it's getting up there in mileage (180k), but I just can't get rid of it. Maybe in 2017 when the new Raptors come out i'll trade both the truck and car in on one.

its pretty fast too, John and i had quite a blast ripping it around town all last week!
