Thanks. It's not a beater really. 52K on it, always garaged, fully loaded leather etc. My dad takes great care of cars. I bought the last one from him too...his '96 Chevy single cab short bed when he bought this one in 2005. It had 50K on it when I bought it. Should have kept it but sold it be cause we had kids and car seats don't do well in a single cab pickup! I am going to level this one and replace the tires with something more aggressive at some point but it will last the rest of my hunting life I'd guess...Good looking ride.
I am thinking of buying a "beater" to use for hunting and fishing trips.

I bought a 04 f150 with 45k miles on it garage kept from my mother.This is the new normal. The manufacturers are going to keep inventories low and prices high. They've publicly said that. So used car prices are going to increase, and new car prices are going to stay at MSRP. My credit union has a car buying service, 2 full time people, and they are saying that MSRP is the new normal. Above MSRP on in demand models isn't out of the question.
I just bought a "new" 2005 NISSAN TITAN from my Dad because I am not going to pay the new prices. It's only got 52K on it...and 1K of those was me driving it home from Kansas to Georgia yesterday.
No offense taken at all...at it's age, you'd think it would be a beater...but it is pristine condition...Sorry, I wasn't referring to your truck as a beater...just what I was looking for to run around on dirt roads and such, to keep the wear and tear off my "newer" truck.
I want a late 90's to mid 2000's truck.
Man that's even lower miles than mine! Nice!I bought a 04 f150 with 45k miles on it garage kept from my mother.
Only folks I see buying new vehicles around here are the farmers who claim to go broke every year. Maybe that's why?....lol
Went 2 weeks back to look at a new 2021 Chevy 1500 crew cab 4x4, liked it, had brief discussion with Sales Manager, truck was their custom model, on the low end of their 1500 line, but it has about what I want, I would add leather seating. Sticker was like 46k, dealer added 5k premium mark up as they called it so we at 51k for one of their cheapest levels. I loved the truck just couldn't see myself paying that for a basic truck. I'll keep driving my 2104 truck until things come down or dealers at minimum stop adding these crazy "premium" fees. I can understand paying MSRP in this economy, but adding that much to it doesnt work for me. And it may never come back down, who kjnows, this may be the new norm if you want to buy a new truck.
