Oh wow that is sad. You had a gorgeous truck. Why did you have to drive wife car to work? And wife not like the truck? Damn what wife don't like trucks? I love 'em. A LOT!!!

Hopefully you get another one soon and start a build thread.

Its not that she didn't like the truck, she just didn't like driving it to pick my daughter up from school in a little parking lot, we are also expecting our second child so that would make it even harder on her. She never asked me to sell it.
the reason I drive her car is because my job requires me to drive on average 150 miles a day, 5 days a week. When you can maybe squeeze 14 mpg out of your vehicle it gets expensive fast, I did it for about a year and a half. Not only has either, just general maintenance needs to be done a lot more often with that mileage so that also added to my expenses.

We test drove all of those when looking for my wife's vehicle (along with Subaru). Ended up like the Mazda CX-9 better than Edge or Flex. Loved the past gen Fusion though, fun to drive.

We all love our trucks, but family comes first. That's what real men do, they take care of family. Good for you, my friend! Less and less real men out there these days....

Yeah I can understand the driving part. You drive more than me. I got my truck new Nov 2012 and already have 20k+ miles now. And driving back and forth from Atlanta to Charleston is burning bout 800.00 month out the budget. And yeah I got 2 kids in daycare/school, there lots are small and tight. I back I'm every where I go so I can just pull out when it's time to go. Or when I use to just run in and pick the kids up, I would pull up in front of the place. I love a large vehicle so I make do when I have to go to small places.

Yea my first year driving the truck full time I put 35k on it, not fun. We back in everywhere too or park in the back empty areas. I love having a big vehicle as well, hopefully can get back into a truck in the next year or so. We really want to purchase our first house as well so that will probably come first, my whole life has been changing up this summer, pretty awesome.

I'm really interested in seeing what price the dealership is gonna put in it and interested to see how long its on the lot, ill put the ad up once they do. It's a pretty cool dealership. I've drove buy it a lot and they always have lifted trucks and imports, talking to the owner and he said they buy the cars that they are into and sell them, they don't just go after any car.

That is good. Blessings to you and your family. A new house is always good.
