Well, perhaps there's some nuance here. My 08 had 110k on a 10 yr old vehicle (at the time.) It was weighted down with arb bumpers front and rear, with winch and roof rack.You are quite literally the only person I have ever heard say this. It's obviously a subjective statement, but quite a rare one at that. I will say that I am jealous about the part of not caring if you beat it up lol.
So when I hopped in my '18 brand new tundra, everything stock, it was tight and handled nicer than the older, heavy, modified cruiser. Also...I was prolly more willing to flog it around town in ways I would have never done to a revered cruiser.
Which is probably what prompted me to leave the cult. After 8 cruisers, I found myself thinking too much about the vehicles, obsessing about preventative maintenance, trying to preserve and cherish the truck rather than wear it out and have fun. So the tundra is a better fit for my mental and financial health.
