    Sure, but To replace that F350 you need credit and the income to cover the payments. Most people can’t afford another payment, especially if their car is already paid off. Trade-in value is pathetic these days when dealerships will offer you $1,500 on a trade-in worth $5,000.

      It doesn’t need to be right now… but it will influence the choice for the next car.

      My point stands. As long as big ass trucks are bought gas isn’t too expensive

          This is lemmy where every time we see a big ass truck we assume the driver is an asshole who doesn’t need it. Working Outdoor Lawn and Garden at Lowe’s cured me of that attitude.

          Funny enough, no one here would bitch about my beat up 2004 F150, despite the fact that my gas mileage is worse than every pavement princess out there.
