Why We Are Buying a New Truck Versus Fixing Big Blue

In this video, I go into detail about why I'm not fixing our old 1994 Ford F350 and buying a brand new truck instead. If you saw my previous video - Sad News Our Old Blue Ford Truck is Toast :( -    • Sad News Our Old Blue Ford Truck is Toast :(   you'll see a lot of the commenters thought I should be repairing old Blue. Even though it looks like the engine needs major repairs or a replacement. I try to explain my thought process and the pros and cons of buying new versus fixing the old beast or buying a newer used tow vehicle. Finally, I ask what you feel the old truck is worth to sell. I'd like to see it go to a good home. I'm sure it has some good years left, just not with us towing our big fifth wheel.
