Not my truck at work, but rather my work trucks at work.
2005 with 285,000 miles and approx $14k in repairs over the years.
2016 with 90,000 miles and zero repairs thus far. Just had to get rid of the awful factory tires that made it jump around like a log wagon. My Boss tried to stick a magnetic sign on it and I laughed when it fell off!
I do miss my old 4WD and back seats. I kept it for a winter driver.
Mine never worked a day in its life. Out Closing a Swimming pool Loaded down for the Dump. Playing with the Bobcat Out Cleaning pools, even in the winter
That 11th gen looks pretty clean. What type of repairs did it incur over the years?

Coil packs, plugs, exhaust manifold, brake lines, leaf spring brackets, shocks, several suspension components, dip stick tube, shift linkage, transfer case issues a lot, heater/blower issues. The control rotted off and left me laying on a tire one morning. The Northern, IL winters are hard on vehicles. It still runs though and we kept it for snowy days when we had to roll.
The bed floor has huge holes in it. With almost 300k on it, no surprises. Just glad I didn't pay for repairs over the years!
