Trade it in? That is easy to resist, I just look at the prices of similar new trucks, and the fact that a two wheel drive is nearly impossible to find, and any urge to trade just fades away.
If it became necessary, I figure I can do a total rebuild of this truck, maybe twice, for what a new one would cost.

I see there are plenty of vehicles that have lasted a long time if we put effort into it. So what's necessary to keep these trucks goin'? My truck has long lasting plugs and wires which last approximately 100,000 miles, so is it time to renew them, what else will keep my ride goin? I changed the transmission fluid/filter.

Mine will be barely broken in at 200K ... O.K. a little stretch ... and this vehicle will outlive me so it's a keeper and the last tow vehicle I will ever own.

Man, our rig seems to still be in diapers with only 52k on it, have only changed fluids and put new feet on it.
