Robin never did like our truck. Even though it worked hard, it just wasn't the testosterone infused beast she envisioned a work/farm truck should be. We are sissy truck owners no longer. Last week we bought a new-to-us '03 Chevy Silvarado 3/4 ton, 4 wheel drive, standard cab, long bed truck.
We didn't really want to buy a new truck, but after Robin and Perrin were stranded on the highway with horse in tow (every horse owner's nightmare), our faith in the old F-150 was seriously shaken. Couple that with the fact that (1) the Ford recently violated "Provenzano's axiom of horse trailer towing" - get a new truck at 150,000 miles, (2) the Focus will be paid off in August, and (3) gas prices have depressed full-sized truck prices; and the time was right.
For some reason, I'm feeling the need to name this truck. Something other than "the truck" or "the chevy." And by the way, is it pronounced chevvy, or chivvy? Or is that a function of your address relative to the Mason-Dixon line?
