Yeah. So let's not paint the whole world one color. Just because it doesn't meet your needs, AND you simply don't like them, doesn't mean everyone else needs to be like you.
0 to 60 doesn't mean shit in a truck. Why did you buy one in the first place? Cornering at speed?? .. Not what trucks are meant to do. Why the hell would you buy one??
Glad you like your car. I'm sure it's nice. If you're getting 18 MPG, you've managed to accomplish what many late model trucks cannot... Get under 20mpg.
Disclosure: I own a 2003 F250. I don't park like the asshat did in the pic, and I don't care how fast my truck goes. I don't roll coal and I run biodiesel to reduce emissions.
Void Linux. Super stable and offers an easy and lightning fast package manager. I'm not sure of your use case but it has been great for me on an older Dell precision laptop for work.
Eh, I dunno. I own a 2003 diesel F250, with?a 4" lift to accommodate larger tires. My use case is not farming or hauling heavy loads... its for camping. It is super obnoxious. I get it.
I drive on some pretty nasty forest roads (not rock crawling) where the additional clearance helps. I've also had to stop on these roads due to lack of power in other vehicles. That 7.3L will climb trees.... albeit slowly: ).
Additionally, the drive into the mountains here in CO is not easy. One of my old vehicles could barely maintain 55mph heading into the mountains, and the semi lane / traffic is dangerous due to the speed differences. I did not feel safe at times, and redlining an old v6 was not sustainable. So I went diesel.
I ran B99 in it for some time, but its gotten so expensive I can't afford it. B20 is available too, so I run that most times now. Its a pig but the B20 drops my emissions a decent amount. Hell, it passes CO emissions yearly which says something.
Anyway, this is my version of the van/camper conversion craze that I can't afford and wouldn't buy if I could afford it. My boys and I can get where we need to go in a solid, reliable truck that I can work on myself (within reason). I don't drive like an asshole and I actually know how to park the damn thing ( and where it shouldn't be parked).
See you in the Rockies!
