Truck is a 2011 (owned since new), but because I got tired of fixing daily drivers, MUCH rather work on my toys........bike is 08 (owned since new), car is 72 (if I'd owned since new I'd have been -5 when I bought it. Lol), and sleds are new this year, but last sled was an 03.

Guaranteed, in yrs to come guys will be after a rig like that because it's long, wide and low and will be soooo different from everything else out there.
I prefer low as my legs so short- Not quite Dorf on Golf but prefer a lower ride. Trailer looks short because the truck is 21'6" long. Thought about changing up the engine but have come to like it just as it is. A buddy suggested I name it Southern Belle after a girl he knew from Georgia because "She's long, wide at the, hips, drinks like there is no tomorrow and you won't find them any whiter."

Just turned over 92,000 KM's yesterday.

When my truck was part of my income I bought a new one every few hundred thousand k, now have a company truck so my personal wheels are a 98 dodge 2500 with a V10. Had two years now and hasn't had my first oil change in it yet. Never thought this would be the case 10 years ago not having a nice jeweled up rig. Finding my toys all being bought used or staying in my possession longer so I can retire earlier

I have a 98 Chev 1/2 ton. I have thought about buying something shiney and new but I have a company truck for day use. I just cant justify spending $30-40kon something that will sit on my driveway. When my kids start driving they get the 98 chev and I will buy a newish truck.

My truck is 15 years older than my sled, was easily the poorest rig in the hotel parking lot at MM7.
