Well, we all know the Exploder's transmission imploded at 297K miles.
Sucks to be me, but whatever, I drove it for 50K miles or something for $2800, so whatever......it did it's time.
Went out truck shopping tonight.
My jaw hung open at what these things are going for.
Looked at (namely) at 2011 F150 (loaded) with 18K miles for.....(gulp).....32K from a dealer. V6 (I think he said it was a twin turbo model.) Nice fucking truck, but seriously....wtf on the price.
Went across the street to the Toyota dealer. 2014 Toyota Tundra V8 BigOne or something with an I in the model. Limited....Interior (believe it or not) wasn't as "comfy" or as ergonomic as the 2011 Ford, but it was a BITCHING truck. More truck than I would ever need, but I guess it is always good to have the big V8 in it.
$37K new.
Both are all leather, all everything. Toyota has a bedliner in it, and is brand new.
Toyota (38 miles), V8, leather, all kinds of shit, brand new = $37K
Ford F150 (18K miles), V6, leather, all kinds of shit, 3 years old = $asking32K
Hmmmm......
The Toyota's "buttons" weren't nearly as nice and crisp as the Ford's, and the Ford's backseat was fucking huge.....the Toyota's wasn't bad, mind you.....both are leather-ed up and pimped out.
What-say-you?
