A lot to be said for an old truck

I have been looking around at trucks. Fords, GM, Toyota......... The prices aren't bad right now, and there are plenty to choose from.

Still, I have not been able to make myself trade in the old 4Runner. The 1988 Toyota 4X4 keeps on trucking, goes anywhere, gives me 25+ mph on the road, and is mechanically sound.

Yeah, the A/C quit, and there are a few little problems, but it starts every time, goes where I want to go, and I have a killer stereo in it.

With just under 300K miles, I think it has a few good years left in it. Besides, I don't have to worry about scratching up the paint when I am trail riding.

Last month, I drove it from Florida up to Virginia, and spent a week driving the back roads and mountain trails. Zero problems, good mileage.
