Default trucks (was Sold the Scout - new twist)

Speaking of diesel trucks, one of my ex-pat retiree buddies, who lives in
Costa Rica, just bought for $18,000, a very nice four-seater Kia diesel
pickup truck. Not a model sold in this country.


I've been half thinking of trading in the F-350 on something else, but I
don't know what to get. I originally got it to tow a big, 5th wheel RV that
we used once. I occasionally still tow trailers ... the heaviest being a
loaded car trailer ... but I really don't need an F-350 to do that.

There's just nothing out there that has caught my eye. I'll avoid diesel
Fords until they permanently extinguish the tailpipe fires. (although I
understand that their new, 6.4L diesel is quite the performer.)

Tailpipe fires? You know, I don't really keep track of all these strange
happenings with ford diesel trucks. You sure seem to have had some
interesting happenings with that vehicle.

Maybe I should lower my standing offer of $1000 for that truck of yours...

That's $1000 cash...
