Hi Chris, can I interest you in purchasing an F150? It’s a southern truck, no rust issues. Engine is strong, tires have about 80% tread left. - vern05

You cannot! For starters, I’m not a truck guy. I certainly see the appeal from a utilitarian perspective, and gosh darned if there haven’t been times my mighty CR-V has been unable to haul stuff from Lowe’s, but as a regular day-to-day vehicle they’re just not for me. Add on top of that, I have a deep-seated, generational dislike for Fords (my dad was a Dodge/Chrysler guy, and his incessant “Fix or repair daily” jokes apparently wormed their way into my subconscious), and there aren’t very many situations where I would purchase an F150.
