Oh no. The next generation and cat eye HD trucks were the best they ever made. Those were reliably 300k mile hard use trucks.

The Z71 was the truck to have back then. I’d take that one.

Totally a different class of truck but, the small Ford Ranger was bulletproof. I had three from 94-98, two with 4cyl and one with 6. I think all brands were pretty solid through the late 90’s and early 00’s with the 5.3

Probably the Chevy but maybe the Ford. I really want a 2002 tundra with the 4.7. Hard to find a good one


I have one. How much is it worth to sell, IDK.

I paid $28,000 for it in 2002. Paid it off after 36 months. Lets round it to 48 months.

For 22 years, I have not had a truck payment. At lets say, $400/month x 12 x 22...that's $105,600 and it runs fine.

Why would I sell it? My granddaughter wants it.
