Actually I’d say that a Plugger’s truck was worth more than the dog food. It’s an older model so it was built with pride and built to last-unlike the “plastic and disposable” trucks of today.
My truck has bells and whistles. I kinda like them and miss them in trucks that don’t have them. But like any good plugger I intend to keep it until the wheels fall off or pass it down as part of our estate.
The value of any truck is not simply measured in DOLLARS. It is measured in its history, its helpfulness, its utility. I really enjoy the gentle perfume of pipe tobacco that permeates my truck as well. :)
Retired 15 months ago, sold my SUV and bought a ‘97 Chevy 4×4 with 350 and 81,000 miles. Happy as a kid starting summer vacation that’ll never end. I’m keeping my truck ‘till its wheels or mine fall off, whichever comes first, an’ not one day sooner. Yep, I use it to haul large bags of dog food, too.

If it gets you to where you want to go, does it really matter the shape it’s in.

A truck being used as a truck ! Not a status symbol !

Passing the emissions test will double the value of my truck. Tell me a state that doesn’t require that, and I’ll move.

The current value of the truck depends on how much gas is in the tank.

Could be! Kendall Honda offered me $200 for my 2001 Volvo, and it’s way newer than my 89 Nissan PU!
