Totally agree ONLY truck I'd ever own is a FORD
I looked at the ranger... the nissan is just a much better truck.. Plus no one else offers a NA V6 now..

I guess I have a Dodge truck thing. Currently still own all of these. My kids have claimed the 89 and the 03. And now the 2010 barely gets used. But when ya need it ya need it!

I love that 89.... here in michigan all you find of them is maybe a seat and rust frame after 30 years

My daily driver is a 2013 Kia Soul, not too exciting but at least it has a stick shift. Wife's car is a 2013 VW Passat TDI, which now has me swearing off buying any more German cars built after 1990.

Yep, I got this one with 140,000 miles on it and have put nearly 40,000 more on it. About all it's needed beyond maintenance has been a crank position sensor, a rubber coupler in the power steering unit, and a recall that was supposed to make it harder to steal. I also had the fake leather shift knob peel and I 3d printed a replacement. Well, I also had to replace a door lock after someone tried stealing it and found it wasn't as easy as it looked on TikTok.

2018 Cummins 2500 on 37's
Each of mine have over 200k on them, the winter one is about 270. They've been great, but you can't get quality distributors for them anymore. So once you have to replace the factory one with one from China, as is the case with my winter beater, you have to keep an eye it.
Parts in general are getting harder to come by, as Nissan only made the first-gen from '00-'04. And they get 16 mpg no matter what. But I once had a '73 Cadillac that only got 8, so...
I loved my time there, 2012-2019. Have been back to see friends. So far, Japan and Scotland are my two favorite places I've been outside of the U.S.
My two cars were a 71 Cuda, and a 71 Hemi GTX, 4 speed car.
They were DAILY drivers and not trailer queens.
When the Cuda sold it had over 300,000 thousand miles on it, and the GTX had over 200,000 miles.
And those cars are still going, although i don't think the current owner of the Hemi takes it out of the collection much, and the Cuda has fallen off the face of the earth, not knowing where that one may be, in this day and age.

Here’s my two non-classic drivers.
‘06 Mega Cab Cummins
And an ‘04 PT Cruiser GT that I bought just for the engine (turbo 2.4, same as an SRT-4) for $400. Got it running and decided I may as well drive it and have fun with it til I’m ready to pull the engine. 2 sets of wheel spacers, Jeep wheels and tires and since this picture was taken, I added a 2” lift in the rear. I think I’ve got $1300 in the car.
