Alrighty....If we are talking truck age...I got them beat here in the SE.  My old grey dinasour is just that....OLD.  But, I have had Ford dealers tell me, that a new truck isn't built as well as my old one.  It is a 1988 F350...diesel, with ONLY 120,000 miles on it.  My dad bought it new,  so I know that the miles are correct.   I have looked at used trucks ....2-4 years old, that had 300,000 miles on them!!!!!!   And they watned like, $25,000 for the darn things.  What are they thinking....I won't be getting a new one anytime soon.  My grey dinasour, gets me where I want to go, and is still reliable.   It don't pull the hills fast, but I do get there.

It works well pulling my trailer to rides even though is only 2 year old. I know someone will say I shouldn't take a two year old to a ride. Now before this argument starts. I want to go on record that I don't think the AERC should have a minimum age limit on trucks.
