Domestics can not do that they can only sell new vehicles to their franchised dealerships.

I know of plenty of F150s 8 to 10 years old and many more that are over 20 years old. I kept my 1992 F150 for 14 years. It is the Toyota that disintegrate. I can't think of any other manufacturer that had to recall vehicles because the frame rotted out. A good friend always brags about how long his Tacoma lasted but he usually omits that he had to have the transmission rebuilt twice and the engine replaced one. And he didn't think the rust holes were significant. Nothing wrong with Toyotas, but they are not in the same league with an F150 when it comes to toughness. They are great vehicles for people that really needed a car. Ed > "Mike Hunter" <Mikehunt2(a)lycos,com> wrote in message > news:4addcb85$0$12271$ce5e7886(a)news-radius.ptd.net... >> Really?
