Not to mention a hell of a lot safer then a small car, and the utility is amazing to have. The cons are definitely fuel efficiency for city driving, and car sometimes be annoying in tight parking areas. They also hold there value significantly better then any car.

I've had two trucks and enjoyed both for their utility at the time. But while one was a chopped down '78 Wagoneer that someone had converted with a bed and the other was a mid-'80's Ford Courier that got ridiculous mileage and allowed me to haul firewood.
When we build down in CR, I intend on finding a lightly used Amarok. We have a friend down there who has one and it is brilliant.

Work colleague and his wife (friends of both) have been visiting CR for years for surfing (him and boys) and her (photography) interests. It's their retirement plan. He has a truck converted to run on fryer oil.
Pretty sure we have a F350 gas at my work, so I think they are both.
I can’t wait until we see 10 speed transmissions with Diesel engines on half tons flood the used market in 4-5 years...

Not all no. For me it's only are heavy and on-track equipment running on diesel. I haven't got any diesel in a while but it's generally 5-15c/L up on gas around here.
It's super true. I want a truck deep down, but I will never buy one.
I'm not good enough. It's not good enough.

Yea I'm only 26, f*** your savings account, invest that cash. If I had to get a vehicle right now (I don't have a personal, no need atm) it'd just be some mid-00s civic.

Work away from home, live in hotels all year. Trucks get assigned out to the boys. If I'm taking a long roady on a long weekend I'll rent a vehicle though.

Yee yee yee.
Nahhhh, it's not for everyone though. Get to work outside, travel the prairies and get a decent cheque every 2 weeks. Cool for now.

It is a tough car ride home when your son's hockey season ends with a 9-2 tournament championship game loss.
It was a good, not great, season for him and his team.
Now it is modified lacrosse season with his baseball season and his sister's soccer season starting up in May.

I now have a truck that that I don't want that the dealer won't take back, and if I sell privately will probably lose $2 grand on because of taxes. And a car that I thought a would sell for $12 grand that isn't even getting interest at $10 grand. My god did I ever put myself in a shitty stressfull spot. I'm losing my mind here.

Forgot to note earlier, there has been a massive industry-wide over-production (supply) of vehicles into the North American market (from I believe all mfgs) the past several years. Will take time to work through.
OTOH, if you have an older car free and clear starting to give you problems or you're contemplating upgrading to something newer, now is a great time to be in the used or new buying market.
I just wish I could rewind 3 weeks and keep my perfectly good car. Life lesson forsure. Good thing is that I haven’t sold it yet at least.
It's great man. Lungs feel great and I'm breathing better than ever. Congestion is almost gone and so is the layer of phlegm in my throat that had been there from years of smoking.
Maybe that's why I've had a such tough time selling my Mazda 3. Sadly I've decided to buy the one car brand and model you simply cannot get a good deal on due to the huge ass waiting list. Oh well, it's pay full retail or wait another 2 years.
