I thought that a new truck would be awesome too until I discovered that I'd been having more fun with my old one. The one with a few cosmetic issues where I could say, "Damn the berry bushes and oak brush. Full speed ahead." When you pay as much as a new one costs today, I just can't bring myself to trash it.
The term for that around here is "good shape for actually using".
The secret is to keep an old truck when you buy your new one so it can do the rough tasks that would make you sick in the new one. Put mud tires on the old one and keep street tires on the new one until it gets the new worn off.
