If you're paying almost 800 a month, you probably can't afford the vehicle.

I paid 23k for a 2013 f250 crew 4x4 6.2 with 37k miles if that helps you.

I don't have pics on this phone.

ford or chevy is "ok" at 100k and they should go to 200k no worries, at 250k i would start watching for signs of smoking, burning oil, or power loss. i am not familiar with dodge but i would think they are about the same.

toyota im good with up until 200k and they should go to 400k no worries, at 450k i would start watching for signs of smoking, burning oil, or power loss.

i am not familiar with honda or nissan but i would think they are about somewhere between ford, chevy, dodge, and what you get with the toyotas.

I have a 2010 f150 xlt 4x4 and just rolled 191,000. I’ve replaced the ac, changed the spark plugs, and replaced some fluids. I’d say that’s pretty minimal. It started shifting a little hard about a month ago and the check engine light came on for an O2 sensor. I’ll replace the brakes for the first time as soon as i get a chance.

No major issues and it runs great in my opinion. I’m in the same boat as you as far as looking for a new truck. I just can’t bring myself to have a needless note.

Personally, I wouldn't want to buy anything with over 70k on a newer vehicle (2-3 yo)

Just got a call from the dealership saying I have no compression in Cylinder 7. Told me the parts to fix are 3 months back order, would recommend a new engine since its only 1 month to replace. LOFL. Told them I will be there in an hour to pick it up, so I guess I will start looking at a new vehicle.

2013 F150 with 80k miles. I will be looking at anything and everything not named Ford.

I have a 2014 tundra with 229,000 on it. Never been in the shop. Pull a utility trailer with it 80% of the time or better. Will buy another tundra. Just don't know when...

I have a tundra and love it.

23 men in our department at work and 4 F150s owned by coworkers since 2015 have had multiple engine replacements.

One has had his ford in shop 8 times in 3 months because everything keeps dying .

Dealership couldn't figure it out and finally found parking sensor in transmission was running everything dead through the night.

Have had Tacomas and now a tundra for last 10 to 12 years and ZERO issues

Woof.I hope that's the eco boost.

I have a 2013 4x4 5.0 with 82k. Bought it new for $39k and so far so good.

I can't afford a new truck these days. I've had two people offer me $30k for mine in the past 7000 miles but I couldn't even fathom what these people are charging for new trucks.

The 2018 model of my truck is $63k MSRP. I think I'll drive mine until they tell me to replace the motor. Engine repairs aren't cheap but they are way cheaper than a truck note.
