New truck day

My 2004 Ford Expedition rear AC went out & that was the last straw. Last fall I did $800 worth if emissions stuff & put a new battery in it. A few months ago I had the transmission rebuilt @150,000 miles.
I had intended to limp the truck along until March & then buy a new truck. I have lost my patience with the Expedition & my wife suggested we donate it to the church & they can give it to someone who needs a good running vehicle that is a but worn out.
So off truck shopping- the contenders were:
1) Jeep Gladiator
2) Ford F150
3) Toyota Tundra
4) Nissan Titan
When the dust settled I wound up with a 1 owner/local trade in which was bought from the dealer I bought it from.
2018 Toyota Tundra with 15,000 miles.
I think I did OK. The color is called ?cement? Its a flat grey.

These days it really is a global economy and this truck was ?imported? from Texas. Unless you are building it yourself I think this is a pretty antiquated point of view.
Some may wonder why someone would trade in such a great truck. My first wife?s father brought home a brand new Ford Bronco. His wife hated it, actually got angry and threw rocks at it.
He took it back and traded it for a car. Lost his * on the deal, but momma was happy.
He should have traded wives instead of vehicles.
She was a nice lady who was good to me.
Now you need some AT tires to go on there.
