re: Midsize truck recommendations

Posted by NoMoreKnees on 8/20/26 at 10:28 am to
I have been driving a 2014 Nissan Frontier. Bought it in 2015 with 11,000 or so miles on it. Last oil change it had 375,000 miles on it. Only brakes, and a sensor that went bad 5 years ago. While they were in the motor Nissan suggested to replace two others while inside. That is the only issue I have had with it. Rule of thumb is 400 miles per tank and averages 17-18 gals each fill up. That is 23-24 miles a gallon.
Wife (no pics) has an 2014 Armada with 255,000 miles on it. We were trying to replace a 2003 Suburban but could not find one at a reasonable price. New or used! Bought the Armada in 2015 also with 14,000 miles on it. Both are great vehicles and no plans to replace either at this time. My youngest daughter (no pics) goes to school out of state and we bought her a 2025 Nissan Kicks for safety and reliability. No issues so far! If we buy a replacement it will be for my wife and I will keep my truck for the farm. Planning on buying a Nissan Rouge or Pathfinder for her!
My dad was discharged from the Marine Corps after WWII. He had volunteered and went back to the BOE to get his diploma and due to volunteering had had finish his senior year to allow him to go to school on the GI Bill.
Graduated HS and was going to hitch hike to either Tulane or Howard College (now Samford). First car to stop was heading to Birmingham so it it was Howard College.
Dad joined a fraternity and there were several fraternity brothers standing outside the Freshman Girls dorm and when my mom walked up the steps and the first guy asked if she was married. The answer was no, and the next asked if she was engaged. It was no, and the next asked if she was pinned. It was no, and my dad asked if she would go on a date and she said yes! They were married next semester and they raised 4 kids and were married for 24 years before she died. Dad got his commission in the Army and retired after 20 years. Dad married 2 more times but when he died he requested to be married with my mom at Arlington National in 2008. I was able to make his wishes happen!

I got my bow hunting food plot tilled and sowed this morning. Sitting on the front porch watching a thunderstorm water it in now! Perfect timing!

We live in the middle of no where and are working outdoors all the time. Mowing, gardening and currently cutting up a very large Hackberry that fell. Whenever I go out I wear long Carhart's pants and long sleeve tees, spray my cuffs, boots and waist down with deet. And when I come in I strip in the laundry room and shower. I have not had any problem in years. However, my wife has had one attach last year and another this year. She is not as faithful with the spray! She went to the doctor and took a round of medications with no lasting issues.
We also keep the Frontline on the dog and cat. No issues there also!
We have raised 6 and have had them play football, soccer, football, cheer, gymnastics, baseball, softball, dance, wrestling, tennis, track, cross country and band. They all did camps, tournaments, competitions during the season and off season. The most expensive is dance with cheer a close second with least expensive was probably track & cross country and wrestling a close second.
You can not beat the old Weber Kettles! First purchase as a newly wed in 81 was a Weber. It lasted 30 years and bought a new one in 2011. Good so far but not as heavy as the first one!
Tore my left in 1980 in my last football game. Tore my right in mid 80’s playing church softball. They had not figured all the orthopedic surgery out quite yet. Really not having any issues till this past fall. Had a shot in left one and that calmed everything down.
Still can climb a ladder stand, lock on and climb up my tractor with no issues! Surgeon said he can fix anytime but you will know when it is time!

I missed this morning waking her up to let her run around the house and do her business!

She was a Rat Terrier! She was a killing machine! She was free! I emailed the friend who gave her to us and her sister lived to last year.

Just got back from the branch and gathered some large smooth stones to cover her grave. Wife took a look and approved!
Going to miss her!

Sad day!

We took a cruse to Alaska this past August. Got a picture of a Bald Eagle with a fish! Not as clear as this one!
