We also learned to never, ever leave the house again without our Honda Genny.

If you have priced a new truck it’s scary. I’m buying a new F150. A Lariat base is $65000 with $2000 delivery. You add a few options $70000 and the Lariat high package $73000. A King Ranch base is $73000 $2000 delivery and less options than the Lariat now we are at $77000. The hybrid package is $1900 but you get a $1900 discount so it’s free. I wouldn’t know what a Super Duty Diesel would sticker at but the HO version Diesel is $10000. Now we are talking real money.
