Default First full year with my truck

I have my truck now for a full year now and I have loved every minute of it! I do miss my car but having a truck is so much nicer

Hey man I know how you feel. March 12 will be one year for me having my '07! I've put 14k miles on there myself go far, it has 60k total but those 14k miles have a lot of fond memories that go along with them.
However I would have had some trouble getting rid of a bad *** mustang like that though. Here's what I got rid of.

But here's what I'm rolling in now. Such an improvement.

Yeah I got my truck for a great deal that's why I got it and traded in my stang. I got my truck with 26,700 miles and now I have 45,200. I have had not one problem with it and has alway be a fun experience. It was real hard getting rid of my stang for a couple reasons but being in snow and needing to get places in the snow, the mustang wasn't really doing it. I wish I could have some way kept it but not practical. Nice looking truck though!!

Ha wow that's Like that's 3 times the amount of miles I put on my truck. But i guess its because I live in a suburban area and everywhere I need to go is a couple miles from my house so I don't rack up the kinda miles you do.

In keeping with the topic, here's what I got rid of:




-and what I replaced it with:




I bought the Sequoia new in '02 when I lived in SC and it was a good vehicle - I didn't have a single mechanical issue in it's 90K miles.

I didn't even consider another SUV since a "truck", (I still consider anything one ton or less a pickup, but since I've been hanging around the forum awhile, I'll begin calling it a truck), suits my needs better now. So far, I'm really happy I made the switch.
