re: Best trucks for the money, measured in cost per 10k miles of lifespan

We had quite a bit of snow a week ago, follwed by a lot of cold/wind/bad roads. A buddy asked me if I had a 4 wheel drive I could spare for a few days.
I went up to my shed and pulled the battery maintainer off an old 95 tacoma.
I hadn't ran it since the summer.
It's got a quarter million miles, a good set of Hankooks and a red top battery.
Fired right off and he ran it all week. Brought it back this morning asking what I would take for it or what he owed me for borrowing it.
I didn't want any money, told him it needed the fresh gas ran through it.
That truck don't owe me nothing.
