The trouble is now they have tried to turn all pickups into luxury vehicles. I have my preferences, but I don't knock others. They are all equally bad.

I don't know. The 2016 friend-350, Super Duty, Power Stroke, King Ranch I took to auction Monday was pretty damned sweet.
What do they get for one of those at a car auction? I would be afraid to buy something used that little. Why would someone want to get rid of it. It must have been a lemon.
Manheim, dealer only, auctions.
I actually drove this truck home in December. Only had 10k miles on it when I got out of it. I think it was driven by an owner or a general manager of a Ford store for a while, and then sent to auction.
My company apparently bought it thinking they already had a buyer. The buyer apparently decided to buy a 2017, and after the truck sat on the lot for a month, my auto group decided to dump at another Manheim auction.
It was listed, retail, at 60k when I took it off the lot Monday. The freaking thing didn't even have a scratch in the bed, and was prepared for a fifth wheel. 440hp, 900ft/lbs of torque, and I got 18mpg on the highway empty.
Coulda been your perfect toy hauler.
Is this place safe?
We used to have a Ural dealer (Russian MC) around here. I still see one every once in awhile. One guy drove his year around for 3 or 4 years-- Aaparently they can be a pretty tough bike.

The Ural is a bad copy of an old BMW captured during WWII.

Rugged, yes, but sloppily made. I've examined a few close up.Everything I've read about them says they are pretty bullet-proof and rugged.
It was a while before the Russians worked out how to make aluminum pistons for them. Before that, they were iron.

They've haven't been on the market for what you would consider a long time. I'm more curious about the Royal Enfield Bullet that is being made in India and imported here.So, try to buy an older one.![]()
