Not all of them were beat.... Cash for clunkers took a HUGE bite out of the used truck market. There are several in the yards here that have high mileage, but, are still clean, still run great, and everything works, even the A/C. Their only crime? They were older trucks. Folks traded them in for the 'big money', to buy yet another gas guzzling truck........

Wow, if a beat looking truck is grounds for some of you choads to junk a truck, then stay the hell out of my yard. My truck looks like 10 miles of bad road but is in better mechanical condition than many out there with shiny paint jobs, no dents, and fancy rims.

Exactly, some people actually USE their trucks.

No they don't. That's just a vicious rumor started by politicians.
