Very sad day today , time for a tractor unit upgrade so I sold my old beast of Foden which I have run for over fifteen years . Its been off the road a while now, I was going to restore it and take it to shows but dont seem to get the time for toys these days.I got back virtually all it cost me , how bad can that be for a truck that had a very hard life, covered 1.8 million miles and never had a penny spent on it other than service items, a clutch and tyres? Whatever fills its boots has a lot to live up to.

Anyone spending 50 grand on a truck surely isn’t going to work with it anyway meaning towing limits, vat reclaim etc all unimportant. 
The working man would just have a van, work type truck and unimog for the same money emoji3.png

Damn right, 50k gets a lot of toys

have you seen the price of all the new pickup trucks now. They are all getting up there money wise. £35-40 k seems to be a regular thing. 

Yank trucks can be had for similar money ( nearly new 2017 or so) but out gun it in every department ( including size unfortunately).

But with the yank u can get a 5.7 hemi included in that which is a toy in itself! guess it depends on what you class as a toy
