I know a guy that goes to my school and currently drives his dad's prevoius truck. It's a 2001 F-250 ExCab short bed with a 5 speed. The truck has 360,000 miles on it and is starting to need the thing that a truck needs at that many miles. Well instead of spending the few hundred bucks and fixing it he wants to get a 2007 Chevy with a Duramax. It almost saddens me to see someone to switch brands like that after having suck a reliable truck. (btw all parts are original factory even the clutch.)
