So if one "baby's" their 10th gen F150 and has 90 000 miles on it.
It's assumed it will be in "circulation" for possibly a decade or so more.
You're saying parts for a 2000 F150 will be difficult to source in the near future ?

Law says, they gotta supply MOST spare parts for 7 years. They have learned, when supply gets v low, raise the price astronomically. Then, there will always be, 'a spare.' So, use 'em. Don't abuse 'em.

I've made a few mistakes on Fords and others in my life.
It won't be 200 vehicles though. I ain't lived that long.
Outside of Fords.... I've owned three non-Fords.

future? No more like 5-10 years ago they started phasing stuff out. Any body or trim stuff? About a 50/50 shot it's still available. Electrical stuff? Forget it
