My favorite John Wayne quote from the Searchers... "No, a human rides a horse until it dies, then he goes on afoot. A Comanche comes along, gets that horse up, rides him 20 more miles... and then he eats him."
I own trucks with 450k miles and wouldn't think twice about driving them anywhere.
Vanity and stupidly complex chit breaking is why folks are always buying new... or low mileage trucks.
I own four Cummins rigs... every one of them is worth twice what I paid.
Moral of the story... get smarter in what you buy. New does NOT mean better always.
Fugg the woke UAW.
