It’s a little weird to think my truck is very nearly as old as I am

It's too bad that car manufacturers stopped making small pickup trucks.
Blame CAFE laws. It's almost impossible for auto makers to sell small LUVs in the US without pricing them higher than most large trucks.
The newer rangers are alright, though definitely bigger than they used to be. My ‘01 just keeps limpin along though, sucker won’t quit
no the new rangers suck they deserved a better design. its ass is too tall stuff dissapears behind it. the engines are too high strung little hot boxs. the interiors are cheap in the wrong way and look nice but will all go the way of the ranger center console lid... ripped torn and smashed. though the aluminum body soumds fun till its a drill welds and replace the whole panel moment. i never get wleded panels back do you ....they always rivet them back together for me.
How many aluminum body panels have you gone through?
on work and personal 8 in total all on f250s though with 6.0ls in the last 3 years. normally somone backs into something. like a light pole or construction dumpster ..btw generally any damage to bed panels and its easier to replace the panel then fix it.
Hyundai Santa Cruz is decent but yeah
I'm thinking more like the old Mazda B-Series.
Blame the epa and badly written laws.
I don't think it was badly written for the time but it's definitely been gamed to the point where pickup trucks need to be part of emissions standards instead of exempt.
Or I can blame the people actually doing it, as well as actively trying to murder the EPA on a daily basis.
Both of my cars are older than me. And at least one is in better shape than I am.
I work in rural Ontario, and there are so many of those fucking kids around here
That truck isn't just sick, it's terminally ill.
Still drives, just gotta let it warm up before you go anywhere.
Bruh my dad has a less beat up version of that truck and it caught me off guard
It's barely used anymore but we also don't have any reason to get rid of it
Fool injected V8
Literally dropping a new 350 into my 78 k5 blazer right now. 45 years that first engine. Try that, Tesla.
