I have to say that there is a world of difference between a new F150
Supercrew and a 60's Chevy pickup.
I have had 2 of the Supercrews now and have loved them both.
I also had a 1968 C10 Chevy for about 24 years.
It was a good truck but not nearly so nice to drive and ride in as

buys a smaller truck because they can't make it cheaper enough to make any
sense.

We figured that if our initial outlay was $11,000 and we saved $2,000/year
($1,000 on energy costs and $1,000 on property taxes) it would be 5-1/2 years
to pay back.
If we factored in the cost of replacing the furnace and AC, which was the
alternative, the payback would be even faster, as the i

I'm fairly good at pushing snow, for a guy who had neck surgery and whose
lower back is bothering him, but I don't think I can push it all the way
to D.C.

That's what we found the first winter here, so we replaced the propane heat
with a geothermal heat pump, and the propane water heater with an electric
one that gets excess heat form the heat pump. Our total energy bill was one
half of that years bill the next year. Even so, it will take 12-13 years
Keep pushing it East. I don't want to go to work every day.
