Written off does not mean free

It is an expensive Truck. I spoke to someone who did a lot of consulting work at GM and he explained folks in places like Texas live in their truck. Often they don’t go to college, save up to buy a brand new loaded US made pick up truck and do their construction type job out of truck. The seven year GM zero percent loans that were common were a life saver. Reliability is huge. Trucks are used often for 20 years and/or 500k miles and by far many a blue collar workers biggest first purchase. It is not a DC thing but in Montana,Texas, Etc it is
Yeah, many dads in my UMC neighborhood fancy themselves wannabe rednecks even though they work in finance and IT and their truck never leaves a paved road or has any cargo. Its so cringey.

That's a lot of trucks.
I wonder if the introduction of the F-150 Lightening will eat into the regular F-150's 44-year reign at the top of the heap?

And I’d have to think those companies have a lot of data to draw on about what vehicles work best for their fleet needs, too. They don’t make these decisions on a whim. They are analyzed for years.
Which speaks highly for the reliability of those full-size trucks.
