18,000 miles on a ten year old truck. "I never went off road and has been a street queen."


What an absolute embarrassment.
The embarrassment is you can't read! Never said "street Queen" read it I said garage queen as it has always kept garaged and never said never off road as you stated. I live in beautiful Colorado and most all of the mile on my truck have been in the mountains taking in the wonderful views and vista's Colorado has to offer. Yes, I don't jump it doing 90 MPH and totaling it like some embarrassing idiots have done.

Keep it, future classic.

The future of vehicles is increasingly electric, boring, stale, and computer dominated. Sure there will be companies like Rivian who will try to keep the enthusiast spirit alive but those brands and vehicles will be fewer and farther between. For now though, I'm happily enjoying some of the last great ICE's made.

Resale value might be high for now but (for me at least) you'd never get the same enjoyment value out of another vehicle because there's no other vehicle that can do what these trucks do.

I'll keep mine forever, 2012 with 68k. Too many memories and experiences that other vehicles can't provide. I'm at my summer house and I left it in storage when we moved up here and it kills me everyday not having it.

Sale value is also going to depend on what mods if you've done. Some mods can actually hurt the value of the vehicle.

Usually I am in the Facebook groups. I do a lot of reading and sometimes buy things from the for sale section here, not much posting.
