Right on Ranger! I drive an 88 F150, and so far it's been pretty cheap. I got it from my dad, who bought a used 2001 Tacoma that wasn't a year old yet. He just got it paid off about 2 months ago ($13,000) and he hates that thing. Me, I've replaced both gas tanks, 2 sets of tires, a new oil pan, radiator, battery, alternator, starter, washer fluid pump, water pump, wiper motor, 2 mufflers and tail pipes, umpteen oil changes, and I've yet to stick 13,000 in it.

It runs like a top, and it's got almost 200,000 mils on it and doesn't burn a drop. It used to leak oil(1 qt/wk), but then I replaced the pan and it's been great the last 4 years. I do need something bigger to pull a gooseneck with, but this thing has given me 6 years of great service for the little bit of repairs I put into it. It's ALMOST always cheaper to repair than buy new, but sometimes you do just have to bite the bullet and buy a new(er) one.

I love my truck. 6 cyl, 5 spd mazda trans, 2 wd custom edition (plain jane)
