Waynemoore. My truck is paid off now but I am considering buying a new truck in 3 to 4 years. It would be nice to go that long without a note. I know buying a new truck won’t gurantee I won’t have a breakdown but I assume it would lessen the odds. I plan on pulling a 5th wheel for another 10 years or so. Buying a new truck now would give me a little more peace of mind. I just wanted to see about the xoeriences if others who have made long distance trips with trucks that have 150K to 175K miles.
When you buy your new truck you may wonder why you didn't do it sooner. I would think you can get buy on your trips with your current truck. Payments may be easier to take while you are still working.
The newer trucks are so much better than a 10 year old truck in ride, towing, creature comforts. Don't go to the dealer and drive one. You'll be sorry LOL
