Let's talk about trucks
PO added airbags, and aside from that it’s pretty well-equipped. 4x4, 146,000 miles (many of which are highway miles from going to/from Idaho in the winters. One owner, he only spent one winter up there and the rest were spent here in Arizona. No rust that I can see.
I spoke with a buddy who used to work at the copper mine here, he said all of their pick up trucks had the Chevy 6.0L engine. He said they were bulletproof. I’ve been onsite at the mine on many occasions, and if there’s any testing ground for a heavy duty application, that’s it.
I’m pretty nervous now, I’ve had that Toyota for 18 years. I try to never develop an emotional attachment to “things,” but this truck has been with me for many chapters.
