Like you, I&...I dither a lot about getting a truck. Like you, I've been making do with my existing vehicle (a Toyota Echo), which can take 6 bags of feed and two bales of wood chips plus one passenger - or the dog. For bigger jobs, I use my hubby's minivan, spread out a tarp, and haul chicken crates, bales of hay, etc. We don't have any four footed beasties - yet - so getting a truck has seemed extravagent, given the comparatively poor gas mileage and the lack of passenger space (I want a long box instead of a crew cab). However, my little car is about to go to university with one of our kids, so my opportunity is on the horizon - I'm thinking beater, though, something I can get dirty and not worry about - maybe 1/2 ton, preferably Chevy or GMC, and it will have to be automatic (you don't want to hear me grind gears). Congrats on your shiny new red truck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
