First truck. 15 years old. Help please.
You think I don't want a new truck? I already asked my dad.
I told him I'd buy all the gas. All he would doing was the payments, insurance, down payments and taxes and tags and inspections.
But he said no. I have asked more than once and he keeps giving lame excuses.
"Son, your mother and I are on a fixed income, besides your 55 years old"...blah,blah,blah
It just pisses me off and I'm thinking about moving out.

To the OP, do what YOU want to do to your truck. Who cares if it's a little old? Over the years i've probably put about $7k into a $3k truck. But it's my truck and it's the way i like it so that's all that matters.
To some of the others that think that just because some of the others are younger than them that they can be all high and mighty, give it a rest. I personally have had my truck for five years now and guess what? It hasn't been totaled or wrecked even once! Those of us that have had to actually pay for everything have a higher respect for our vehicles than you would imagine. And yeah it's might be 97, but it's gonna ride till the wheels fall off!

I'll admit, I do have one "logo" type sticker on my truck, but odds are nobody here will know what/who it is without looking it up.

All I can picture are rides like this:

The Kirby Morgan 37 Commercial Diver's Helmet is one of the most popular designs in the world. It's considered the standard of the commercial diving industry.

As for better, I think they meant something more affordable for a teenager. Trucks suck down gas (ask Raptor, he used to always complain about not being able to drive his truck cuz he couldn't afford gas, and he's got a V6!), you're going to have to do maintenance on your truck since it's up there in miles, the last thing you need is for the transmission to go out, or something like that.
Search the site for high mileage f150s and look into what kind of problems you can expect, and if you're lucky, you might be able to cut some of them off before they start. Either way, if you plan on keeping it you'd better figure out a way to save up to repair it.
