Paided off my mortgage in 13 years.
Owe less then half the value on my truck and pay a little extra on each month.
I have enough to pay it off but my interest is 4.6%.... I'm making 5.5% on my CD's and averaging 13% on investments so it's better to hold the interest account for now.
I've had a 2019 Tacoma amd a 2021 Tundra.
I'd still have the Tacoma if I didn't need the 2500 Dodge I have now.
That said, I loved my 08 Dodge 1500 and my 2019 1500 as well... I'd buy a 2/ 3 yr old Dodge or Toyota. Either will do you good.
Zach Truck accessories off 515, near Appalachian Gun and Pawn.
I used them in 2019 for Dodge Ram. They were cheaper then the "factory option" from the dealership and fast professional.
I always check them first on any truck related options
They didn't rebrand Dodge trucks... in order to get more bail out money, CDJR "dumped" or rebranded the ram truck line as a separate company because it was the only profitable product line during the government bail out years..
For Fords of that time line, the fuel pump, alternator seem to be the biggest issue ( which car doesn't have those issues) .
Also look at the suspension system, ball joints etc. It will help determine if the mileage is correct as well as see how the vehicle is maintained. Ford wasn't known...
