One less Chevy
ARRRRRRGH!
Had to turn in the Silverado. It had a relatively trouble free 100k miles on it but company policy requires retiring vehicles at 100k. The bad news is they gave me a F150 to replace the Chevy. Oh well it was nice while I had it. At least they let me take it home every night and they pay for the fuel and maintenance.
There is no way to happiness....happiness is the way.

Well, sounds like you don't have a lot of room to complain about that one, but I'd be disappointed too. I actually turned down a job once because they were going to make the field guys drive compact regular cab pickups like Ford Rangers ... I don't fit in a Ford Ranger physically.

not to send this thread off-topic, but I didn't realize how tall you are until I looked at your pics from the outing at the Arbuckle Wilderness area. I just noticed that you're taller than the small SUVs in the background. WOW

With the cost associated with driving these days, even the F150 sounds like a good deal! Good luck!

Ha Ha welcome to the Ford work vehicle club. I'm glad you could join me
Mine is an absolute P.O.S. I wouldn't own a Ford on my own if it was the last vehicle on the road....I'd walk.
