Right. My two cents. Us Guys always want a truck to pull a item here and there. If a person not using the truck for a everday job no need to buy one.

A tip for new people looking for older trucks. If it has high mileage but more than 75%+ of it is miles was while it was a fleet vehicle then it’s like it never had those miles. just make sure the owner after being in the fleet isn’t a teen and make sure it didn’t sit for years.

@@mattcrouch9348 I guess you don't have much use for a truck, why buy a truck if you don't use it? Sure a new truck you lose some money but if you keep something till the wheels fall off it pays for itself after it's paid for.
