It's bizarre. All my neighbours have massive pickups built in the last five years, and use them to commute. I own a bar and use a 1983 gm pickup twice a month to make my liquor and supply run (Warehouse is twenty miles away but they want 50 for delivery)

I have a small farm and a battered 12 year old F150 XL. It moves once a week, and I commute by motorcycle. I bought the truck in 2022 and it was bizarre. It had half the miles of the next cheapest truck on the lot, and it was half the price. It's a base model, no option truck and nobody seems to want one of those.

I wanted one a few years ago, but couldn't find anything that wasn't from the 90s and/or beat to shit...

That's the era the spark plugs all break off, people hate those motors and most everyone knows about this issue

It's actually later than the trucks with the 5.4 engines. This one could have had a 3.7 V6, a 3.5 turbocharged V6, or a 5.0 V8. The last year for the 5.4 was 2009.

Edit: I feel I should mention that a 12 year old truck means it's a 2012. I don't understand how 2012 is a dozen years ago, either.

....I'll admit I was thinking 2010 was 12 years ago

Big pickups are nasty af. Actually useful pickups are sexy.
