I've got my truck all paid for. Engine went out in 04 due to hydrolock and clutch and flywheel replaced at 165,000 miles but thats it. Runs like a top.

 

That new hood looks LIKE CHIT!!!

PAID OFF here. 33,400$ (And I work for CCity)

 

My truck is not paid off only because I have bought and paid for other things, like our travel trailer, my fiances 05 Focus, my 04 Yamaha Raptor, over $5,000 in tools in the last 2 years and I am currently saving for a new 18/20' enclosed trailer and also a 18' car trailer. Could I have the truck paid off by now, sure. But then I wouldn't have all the other things that I own paid off and all of those would have ALOT higher interest rates and what my truck loan is. Also instead of paying my truck off I have been planning for my and my familys future by investing my money and also setting up CD's, roth IRA's, and just plain putting money away for a "rainy day".

So having just a house and truck payment is pretty darn good.

 

Paid off 2.5, maybe 3 years ago. Zero debt, although a house is in my near-term future. Trying to save enough to buy outright. I absolutely HATE debt of any kind. If you owe someone money, pay it - my motto. Also been socking max allowed by law away into 401k past 2 years, on track this year too hopefully by end of June (60% into 401k). So yeah, live way below my means but want to retire before I'm old and grey. I could easily buy an '09 outright, but that would put me behind in my home savings. There's the rub... what to do.

 

No truck payments!

Just house and viper. Should have waited on the viper, but oh well.

 

I'm getting around the same, never 23 but has hit 22 on a good day. I consistently hit 19-20. What mods do you have done?

 

They do get better milage than the V10 when you get a load on them though, but the fuel is still more expensive so I am not sure if it would work out.

My truck is not payed for yet, I have another year and half on it. It does what I need it to do and gets 18mpg on the highway, I am happy as a lark with it.

 

I've got 4 years left on mine, but I put alot down on it. I just wanted low payments to build my credit. I probably won't have it that long, I'd like to be in a 3/4 ton Diesel in about 3 years. I wouldn't buy it for mileage or power though, the diesel would be for towing the toy hauler. Honestly the 150 does a great job with about 8K, but the 3/4 ton is just nice to have. It's pretty much about what you want, and the say you gotta pay to play, so with towing heavy loads with diesel pickup, comes 5 bucks a gallon for the fuel, then I have to fill the bikes....*sigh* Lol, it's a viscous cycle, but the fun is well worth it!

 

if it gets 20mpg city, a $1 premium for diesel wont be a big deal
