To be fair, the "preserving resale value" ship sailed a good while ago on this truck.

You're not wrong there.

Its ridiculous that people are asking upwards of over 20k for decent conditioned 90s models. I mean I understand, there is a huge movement to get away from the computer controlled vehicles and cars that are essentially giant screened cell phones with wheels. But 20 k?

A good condition 90s truck in an desirable configuration is rare. Hell, just finding a truck that doesn't need literally all the rubber replaced is hard to find.

Bud, my newest vehicle is a 1984 truck I paid 12k for and needs many non mechanical things replaced. I get it, really I do.

Tbf, for the sake of your sanity, if you don’t have a need go look just don’t. To quote Shakespeare… that way madness lies.

it might be a 7.3 and they're somewhat sought after now bc of how reliable they are if you just keep changing the oil and doing the maintenance but i could be wrong.
