Might as well get the new one for $50,000. Unless you buy trucks for cash, you are screwed either way.


When my truck finally blows up, I'm getting a used Subaru Outback shipped down from Seattle for less than $10 grand, and I'm putting a deer rack on the back of it. And mud tires. To hell with these 4WD truck prices.


Some of my greatest hunting memories are with my grandaddy in a 48 Plymouth sedan. It had a positrac rear end, with buckshot mudders, and it would go places that today's fancy Nancy 4x4s won't go. We put the dogs in the back seat and whatever we killed or caught went into the trunk.
When I was a teenager, my dad bought a 69 suburban in a police auction. Two wheel drive, independent rear suspension, big mudgrips and that sucker was unstoppable. We'd put a mountain of firewood in the back and still had room for 3 people and all our camping gear. We was living high on the hog!

I hate making a good first impression. There’s no way I can keep that shit up.
