My old truck was fully depreciated and when you run a small business, that's pretty important. I generally keep the old one and trade in the second oldest one but that one is not road legal right now so it's staying put.
My old one is pretty basic, F-150 standard cab 2WD, 6.5 foot bed.
My new one is a huge upgrade, F-150 king cab 4WD, 6.5 foot bed. A lot of bells and whistles I haven't figured out yet. The one I'm most curious about I can't use. A trailer back up knob that replaces the steering wheel somehow when backing up with a trailer. Tried to use it last week but got all sorts of alarms. Apparently, I have to program the trailer into the trucks computer for it to work. I never had trouble backing up a trailer but this has me intrigued.
Out with the old, in with the new. My last three have been fire engine red so this is a big color change. Same color as our car. Color has never been very important to me, I go with whatever is available.
