Here’s another photo from a couple of days ago inside the Dell Webb community, the mountains to the west always look so nice with the palm trees in the foreground. On another note, I’ve been considering buying a new truck for a few weeks now so today I did some serious shopping. I checked Chevy, Ford, and Dodge.
I am on the hunt for a truck with a small-block V8 engine and a five or six-speed manual transmission and came up empty. The big three have stopped building trucks like this a good while ago which sucks. I did find one very nice Dodge truck with a 350CID engine and with a short box bed.
The numbers were decent for the trade-in value but the bottom line for me is that I attach plenty of sentimental value to my current truck. That is what stopped me from committing to a deal. Damn, that Dodge was so nice too! There will be other deals available down the road…
Best of luck with your hunt for a new truck. We’ve been contemplating trading our beater in, but it’s served us well over the years and it would be nice to squeeze in another year or two.
Thanks, I thought about it last night, decided this morning to keep my old truck. Why take on a payment….
When the truck is right for you, you’ll know. Take your time. I look at lots of vehicles and just haven’t found what I really want yet.
I’ll keep my old truck. It’s paid for! ❤️
Agreed!
That’s a problem with selling things that you’re emotionally attached to.
Hi Anneli, yeah it’s so hard! I got a text from the person I spoke with at the dealer. They are very persistent! I dunno, gotta chew on this a bit more.
We just got my husband a Ford Ranger earlier this year. He really misses his Dodge Ram but didn’t need such a big truck any longer.
Dodge builds a great truck, so does Ford in my opinion, I hope he loves his Ford Ranger! I keep thinking about that Dodge truck this eve!
It’s not a truck if it’s not a Dodge (Ram). 😉
Dodge is your favorite brand?
You bet! Ram tough. 😁
I see. I keep thinking about that truck. It’s all about the sentimental value of my current truck but I love the big 350 engine in the other truck! It rides like a Cadillac compared to my old GMC…
I get the sentimental value – although with me it is all about getting used to a new vehicle. I like knowing where the windshield wiper control is. 😧
You’ll become familiar with that stuff quickly. I just got a text from the dealer about this, LOL! They are persistent.
No doubt. I can’t imagine sales are booming for vehicles.
Used car and truck sales are booming in the States now because the microchips that run so many vehicles are not available. Maybe it’s the same thing in Canada, not sure. The offer I received for my truck was certainly more than what it would have been pre-Corona. Kinda makes you want to jump on the train…
Except then you have to pay for the new truck? The price of them must be higher as well?
I’ve decided this morning to keep my trusty old ship of the desert. It’s paid for so…….
Yes that is a good reason – especially if it has proven itself trustworthy!
