my '08' red mega, should outlast me.
i was planning on replacing the little '83' ranger in a few years.
now i've changed my mind, and am restoring/hot rodding a 56 f-100.
power will either be a cummins 4bt or a e-85 ford 4.6 @ 12.5/13:1 compression

If I needed one ,yes I'd buy one,but family rule has been only one car payment at a time, and it's my wifes turn next. After that my son will need his first car, so I guess I better be happy with my 05 for a long while, at least 10 more years.

I think that if I were to get rid of my 08, that I would go backwards. To many pristine used trucks out there selling at good prices with no gubment emissions headaches.

1. Sufficient power to tow my trailer.
2. Purchase price.
3. Operating costs (mpgs, service items, tires etc.)
4. Comfortable for the whole family.
5. Warranty.
6. Easy to work on myself.
7. Reputation for powertrain longevity.
8. Dealer experience.

The answer for me was Dodge in 2003, and I'm guessing it will be again in 2010 when I need a bigger backseat for my teenagers.
