My ‘96, quarter-million-mile Ford fuckin’ Ranger is still running. I love it partly because it’s shit. It’s incredibly cheap, it hauls stuff, and I don’t have to care about it. Similarly, anybody coveting a C10 knows exactly what they’re getting into.
Also, I’ve still got a CRT TV in my back room and a couple of CRT monitors stored in the basement. I’m well aware that they’re not as good as my LCD TVs and monitors in every single way, except that they’re good for accurate retrogaming, so I keep them around for that purpose and that purpose only. (I’m also under no delusion of them lasting 50 years, contrary to the meme.)
Mine also has a manual transmission and lever-operated 4x4 transfer case, but is a regular-cab 2.3L.
I picked it on purpose because I wanted the most efficient 4x4 truck I could find, but now (with kids and with towing/hauling more than commuting) I’d be better off with one like yours.
