I could pour money into “Ike” and make it into a modern version of a ‘96, but that just doesn’t feel right to me.
Perusing the market, both in gassers and diesels, I am seeing two clear options:
Option 1: Newer, maybe 5-7 yo trucks in my price range with around 300k on them.
Option 2: Older, maybe 10-15 yo trucks in my price range with under 10k per year on them.
Which would you lean towards, and why?

Simply beciase in my limited experience I have picked up some low mileage older trucks that were awesome values.

1/2 ton. Wife has one, I like it. But we have occasional need for a 3/4 or 1 ton.
