Try to find a low mileage 4X4 crew cab, that sits 4 comfortably, 5 in a pinch, with low miles, for under $14,000!
Love it. I can tell you this. Honda stuff is very reliable. And if you have ever noticed, most guys and girls driving around in trucks these days are driving around empty 95% of the time. At least. LOFL. These trucks will do what 90% of truck owners need to accomplish 90% of the time! If one is not towing heavy stuff……. ?
Gasifier Your selling stuff I already have, wife loves her Ridgeline. I love gas mileage 25 regular.. 28 on long trips. Plus carries 4x8 sheets better than most trucks and the Kubota
Pretty sure I'd really like your truck Gasifier ... my ole 2004 Silverado is still going, but it's got many issues. All I can do is wish at this point tho. No extra (that'll no doubt get smoked by inflation) Good luck with the sale. Looks like a good deal.
Egg Zachery. Plus our 2020 gets 25-27 mpg not towing our camper and has gotten 22 towing it in perfect condition. It's a small camper that is around 1800 with all our gear but its still towing it. Ride is the best, by a large margin, of any conventional truck we've owned or driven as well as handling. And that trunk.....here is the list of everything we keep in ours for travel. Stays in there year around and there is still a bit more room. All the power tools are in their original boxes or carrying cases as well as the two stoves.
Yeah wifes is 2020 also. She uses bed trunk for Costco runs.. went when boys filled it with Ice and drinks until I showed her drain hole.. best laugh ever that’s a girls truck… Better be It’s the wifes
I'm the main driver for ours. Its mainly used to pull our camper or make a lumber run if needed. We haven't broken 10,000 miles yet and we purchased it in September of 2020. She drives her civic all summer and me the HRV. Come winter the civic is stored, she drives the HRV and me the truck which isn't much. We have zero need for more truck even with our future camper upgrade plan. The most it will probably ever tow would be 4000 but realistically, 2500-3000 will probably be it. We aren't into giant home away from home campers. Quality over quantity with the essentials is the plan. Helio 2, Casita, Snoozy II and Escape brands are what we have narrowed our choices to.
Honesty it’s a shame what they have turned trucks into these days. If you want a truck for traditional reasons, you basically need to buy a heavy duty. My relationship with my f250 is love hate. I love that I have an 8’ bed. I love my manual locking hubs and transfer case. I love I can put 3000 pounds in it and not worry. I hate how rough it rides. I hate the fuel mileage it gets. I hate trying to park it in most modern parking lots (it’s an extra cab)
I have owned many different kinds of trucks. 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton. The cost of everything, starting with registration, with a heavy duty is more expensive. It’s tough to justify them now with the price of gas, brakes, mufflers, etc. etc., if you don’t really need it. I am still considering going back to a 3/4 ton so I can plow snow with it, and do it in comfort. I have plowed with just about everything. A pickup with a warm cab is the fastest and most comfortable. But the only way I could justify buying one financially would be to buy an older, low mileage one. I refuse to spend much on one at this point. Prices are outrageous. But I have seen some nice older ones. Then add a plow…….
Its always been that way hasn't it? Traditional heavy duty usage reqired a rough riding unit with stiff suspension so you could load that 3000# in the bed. My dad's 73 f250 was a lumber wagon as was his 68 3/4 ton Chevy.
I rode in a newer Ram 2500 once. I say newer. I think it was somewhere around a 2013-2015. It was the smoothest riding 3/4 ton I have been in.
I've owned many 1/2 ton and smaller trucks. Short bed and long bed. There has only been one time in my life I've needed to tow more than 5000#. Taking a tractor in for warranty service. I happened to have a full size 1500 long bed Chevy at the time and a buddy with big flat trailer. Now, id have the dealer come get it if it needed major work.
They have gotten better for sure. My nephew is running a 1 ton 4x4 quad cab long box Ferd power stroke. Older one with a built 6.0 liter. He's going to sell it because of the ride. He's approaching 50 now.
Brother has 2022 F350 dually gas, nicer ride than 2020 3/4 ram and better gas mileage why we don’t need real truck
