what are you driving these days
16+ year old F-150 5.4 V8 I bought used when some ladies plowed into the back of my pristine 2003 F350 at 85mph and flipped on i-95.
I really enjoy the F150 but miss the F350.....dont miss the Deisel bills though! and this car is a blast to drive
2016 ford mustang gt P51 is based in Kissimmee Florida and came by to join the mustang car show!
This plane is amazing to see under power!

Re: what are you driving these days
My daily driver is my 20 year old Ford Fusion V6. It's up to about 156,000 miles now and no plans to replace it.
My other three vehicles are all much older! A 1969 Chev Suburban, 1939 Chev coupe, and 1937 British Austin sedan.

Re: what are you driving these days
No pictures, but I drive a 2006 GMS 2500HD diesel and a 72 Ford Bronco I have had since 1975. Bought it off my friends father for $3200.00. I has since become almost attached to me as my dogs

My woods rig is a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ with 348,000 miles. I bought it for $6K with 175,000 miles on it. Even though I spent a good amount of time on forest roads when I was working, it still is a quiet ride going down the highway. It started to leak a little oil at 325,000. It has been a solid rig since I got it. According to the online pundits, the WJ was the last of the good Jeeps due to the changes in the company owning the Jeep name and inconsistency producing quality products.

Re: what are you driving these days
I bit the bullet back in 20 on a new Ram 1500 Ecodiesel. I get 20mpg around town and 32+ on the highway, not much of that though.
I miss my 2001 Cummins powered 2500!
My woods rig is a '16 Polaris Ranger mid size.

Re: what are you driving these days
Fun !
Mostly a '18 Tacoma with all the TRD Tomfoolery that i never use --- but it will pull a 2 horse trailer on occasion if needed

My weekend and after hours ramblings are taken care of by my "shop truck" -- S15 with character and a 3" drop

Or my '71 Cheyenne Super

And honestly - when it comes to vintage vehicles - the S15 gets driven 10x more than my Cheyenne

Re: what are you driving these days
My daily driver is my 1992 GMC 1/2 ton Suburban. Picked it up for $5600 two years ago, owned by a local guy who didn't drive it hard or take long trips with it. We drove it to Texas last summer for my father in laws 80th birthday hauling all the grandkids, plus our oldest and youngest child. It's a beast, but it'll go anywhere.
My wife has her 2009 Ford Escape. That's our run around vehicle when gas prices go up, or she and I go out for the day.
Both are completely paid off. I despise car payments.

Re: what are you driving these days
Daily driver is a 2022 GMC Canyon, it's a great vehicle in every quantifiable way but it is utterly soulless. For real towing/work and satisfaction I hop in the 86 K20. It's big, powerful, and crude but I cherish it.

Re: what are you driving these days
We have a 2010 Honda CR-V we bought new with only 84K miles that looks new and is used primarily for around town trips as well as a 2016 Chevy Tahoe we bought new with only 64K miles that's used primarily for our road trips.
The Honda has made a trip to Sacramento once but mostly it's for around here while the Tahoe has been all over the US from San Diego to Vancouver and the Finger Lakes to as far south as Miami as well as a few trips to Austin to visit our daughter.
I also use it to go on my "Lap Arounds" which are trips I take when my wife doesn't want to go to another Airplane, Car or history museum so I pick a few states and plan a trip around them hitting all the places I like to visit.

Same ol' boring 2018 Ram 1500 crew cab 4X2 with the Pentastar Six. Just turned 120,000.
Re: what are you driving these days

A Glock. . . . er I mean a Honda Civic (same thing, not frilly or fancy, but they just work). 18 years old but still runs well.
I really need to find a pre-computer pickup truck, but I'm not a good mechanic so need one that already runs. May delegate that shopping to my son.
My favorite vehicle was a John Deere 650 Bulldozer with an 8-way blade. Bumpy ride and terrible mileage but I didn't take it out on the highway much...

Doc, I sure miss my Mahindra with the three-cylinder Yanmar diesel powerplant and three or four PTO accessories. What is it about tractors?

Re: what are you driving these days
Every day around town wheels is a 2015 Honda CRV we bought new. It now has 95,000 miles:

For heavy hauling or out in the woods I use my 2002 Ford F250 diesel, bought new and now has 220,000 miles (note the license plate):

My favorite is my restored 1955 Chevrolet Nomad show car. I got it in 1969 when I was 18 years old. It was my hot rodded daily driver until marraige and kids left it sitting for several years. I decided that since most Nomads are modified, I would restore mine to factory stock condition, which I completed in 1994. Been enjoying it ever since:

Re: what are you driving these days
Oh man, that F350 was impressive. Sorry to hear that. I hope you're OK. And if you're not OK, can I have your 1892 in 38-40?

Re: what are you driving these days
We’re between suitable farm vehicles at the moment.
I had been using an 03 4Runner since 2020 that worked out as a great farm and daily type runner. It had nearly 360,000 miles when I sold it last year after it broke down too many times in a short span.
We swapped into an 08 Tahoe for the wife and now I’m using her Acura RDX as my daily.
We’ll stay in that until we really can’t and grab a proper truck. The Tahoe can tow if need be, it’ll handle those jobs but the RDX just isn’t a farm vehicle at all.

Re: what are you driving these days
My newest vehicle is a 2019 New Holland WM75; but sees very little highway miles... if you call the 3 miles between the farm & gas station on a state highway, "highway" miles! Averages 2 acres per hour.
The daily driver is a 1997 Kenworth T600, just turn over 2.923 million miles... I'm hoping to be able to watch the odometer roll over for a third time!
My working truck is a crew cab 2005 Silverado 4WD dually, It rolled over 100K miles last year.
The grocery getter is a 2003 Silverado ½T, that I bought for my wife when her Camaro died.
She complained about how high it sat in comparison to her Camaro, yet she had a love/hat relationship with my various 4x4s (4), over the years... hated climbin' in them, but loved the visibility and safety she felt in the driver's seat. The Camaro is still with me, and the next project to garner my attention.
And then there are the 3 '55 Chevys that live in the barn/workshop... 1, that's perfect, 1 that needs some TLC, and then there's the p/u that needs complete assembly. If it's anything like any of my other projects... I'm sure there are parts I've set aside for "safe keeping" (aka: lost), that I'll find after I buy a replacement! Gotta get home I dig out their pics.
