New trucks are overrated, change my mind

[Alan]

These new trucks cost $70K and half the features just break or you never use them. Give me a simple older truck any day...they are cheaper, easier to fix, does the same job. Am I wrong or are new trucks just overpriced?

A 2wd 2 door truck with a bench seat isnt costing 70$

No, you got it figured out.

I usually keep my trucks for at least 15 years. So the initial cost averaged out over time really isn’t that bad. My current truck is a 2017 Ford F250 4x4 and only has 73,000 miles on it. With the aluminum body, it should last and will probably be my last truck. My previous truck just rusted to death even though the motor and drive train were still going strong after 233,000 miles.
