I have had my older model cheap Ford F250 for almost 10 years now. It runs great and the body is still in excellent condition. Since the mileage is getting pretty high, my husband decided we needed to buy a new truck. He found a Dodge Ram pickup that is very nice, but will cost over $18,000 once all the payments are paid. I told him he should wait awhile and see how much longer my truck would last. He insisted on buying this new Dodge. Now that we have driven both trucks, it is quite ironic that my old Ford runs much faster and smoother than his brand new Dodge.
