The door panels get hard and brittle.

The paint starts to fade.

Electrical wires insulation fails

Etc.

They are still 20 year old trucks and NOTHING lasts forever

I guess to some extent. Just in my head it is still new..my OLD car is 1925!!!

Anything can be fixed but how much are you will to spend and then have to fix is my point.

I had over 25k into my last truck and that counted ZERO time

Both of mine look that good. I try to fix the small things as they come up, or before. Neither one has ever left me on the side of the road. Both have close to 250,000 on them. Look almost new inside too. Like I say, it depends on how you take care of your stuff. I think I am going to go ahead and spring for a new paint job on the 4x4. I want to get rid of the trim. That's a couple of months or more down the road though.
