The problem is, the kind of person who cares about those things, as valid as they are, buys 0-1 cars per 20 years, and the market is driven (ha ha) by people who buy 2-3 cars every 2 years.

Very true. This truck appeals to me very much. My wife and I have a 2010 Accord and a 2014 CR-V. We could afford newer and/or fancier cars, but we just don't care about those things.

We're thinking of buying a newer car at some point, but between interest rates and, now, tariffs, we're not in any hurry.

Hah. Fair point. I'm around 210k miles and aiming to squeeze as many more out of it as I can.
