Me too brother.
My 1998 F150 with a gasser V-8 runs okay with 210k miles on the odometer. I'll probably get 300k out of it.
I rather like the big Tundra model. When the Ford gets old I'll likely trade it for a used Tundra. However, I'll give any Ford truck a close look. This one has been exceptional. The weakest part is the interior, which appears to have advancing leprosy.
OTOH, a used MB truck with around 75k-120k on the clock would be okay, if in the price range and if the truck develops a good rep.
