I get the sentiment, i love our truck as well for the trips.
But too much rust is too risky for big bills. . I put a car on blocks all winter on Cape Cod, and the entire brake system had to be rebuilt. . waste of money for trying to save money. .
I don't buy new vehicles though, only first two vehicles were new, being young, otherwise, 2-3 year old cars with 20-30K miles. . but i get that today's used car market is hosed due to working from home just made cars last 3 years longer before getting turned in for a new one based upon mileage / age. Leases were bought out because it was much cheaper than buying a new car.
If you shop around, there might be a steal here or there on a good 3 year old truck . .
