Not bad.  I believe this lady bought her truck for about $40k... maybe 2/3
of its life cycle remaining.

New pickups cost more than that!  I heard that some F-550s sticker for
more than $80,000.  Before spending that kind of money on a pickup, I'd
make up my mind that it was time to bail out of pickups and into a truck
that'll do the job better.

$40k for a truck that'll last 20 years, won't strain on hills, and
probably won't have many service issues... heheheheheh...  Sounds nice.
