What trucks do you regret selling?

I'm still driving my 2001 F250 7.3 powerstroke with 435,000 on the odometer. I hope I never sell it.

The one vehicle I wish i could have back was my forest green with cream top 1992 Ford Bronco. I sold it to my dad when I started commuting forb college, thinking I would buy it back one day. Unfortunately my sister's worthless boyfriend destroyed the motor. Then, years later, my dad received a call from the sheriff's office saying the vehicle was on fire in a parking lot. So that was the end of that dream.
 
About 15 years ago I bought a 1991 toyota pickup from a friend for a stupid cheap price. Pretty much ripped him off but I didn't have much money and I think he felt bad. Once my third kid came I just couldn't justify keeping the truck as it was only a 2 seater. So sold it for more than I bought it for and bought a jeep grand Cherokee. My buddy and I both regret selling it.
 
‘88 F150. 4.9L M5OD. Loved that truck. Rusting out bad when I traded it in for something a bit more trustworthy for long trips before I got married and moved states. I am sure it got scrapped. I wish I had kept the truck for parts and put it the engine and transmission into a different truck out here. I always liked the looks of the ‘92-‘96 generation better, but I’ll get in one of them sooner or later again.IMG_1894.jpeg
 
My 2002 Ford Ranger XLT,4.0l, and 4wd. Got it in harvest gold, couldn't tell if it was dirty with the color. Sold it with 400K on it, the only problem I had with it was the transmission went on it once, and the 4wd module had to be replaced, otherwise a great truck. Have a 2012 Ram 1500 5.7l now, just turned 270k, and it has taken me on some great adventures already over the years, hopefully it'll continue to do that.
 
1965 Ford F100, seafoam green,imaculate,351. 115k original miles.
I had 3 trucks and could only fit 2 @the ex's...so it sat alot, neighbor offered $6k,3 times its going price...down payment on a cabin in the Sierra's.
Sold my half of the cabin later and it bought this place in NM.
So no regrets really, but it was sooo clean.
 
I think nostalgia makes us regret selling vehicles from our youth. I had 1976 Chevy Blazer I would love to have now but remember being happy when I sold it. I also had a 76 Camaro and 69 Pontiac Grand Prix that would be fun to have still.
 
i had 4 different early ford broncos back in the day,,wish i still had them now,id be rich,,they are crazy high priced nowadays
My dad had a couple of 60’s era Broncos when I was a kid. Straight 6 that never seemed to have much power and 3 on the tree shifter. Was my job to get out and lock in the hubs - usually after we’d gotten stuck. I don’t have any trucks I regret getting rid of, but I’d love to have one of those Broncos.
 
I am still driving my first truck, in 2013, I bought a 2010 Tacoma Double Cab 4x4 with 5'bed, it had 22K miles on it then, now it has 55K, I hope to never sell it, however it does need some upgrading.
The One Vehicle I absolutely regret is selling my first car, 1971 Camaro, dark green paint with black vinyl top.
It was just dang cool.

I've had so many trucks over my driving life span that I'll limit it to the last 20 years or so except one I sold over 40 years ago that was a 359 Pete with a 3406 and 13 speed.
For pickups in the recent 20 years , I wish I hadn't sold my '96 f250 4x4 5spd 7.3 diesel extended cab with a flatbed. My wife hated that truck and long story short I sold it for a 2000 F350 4x4 automatic 7.3 diesel extended cab pickup. I bought the 96 back from the family of the guy I sold it to. The '96 has 325k on it, the 2000 has 290k on it neither gives me a bit of trouble. I still drive the 96 more than the nicer 2000.
 
1996 full size bronco, 351. I had put a ton of money in it and nearly had it complete. Air lockers front and back, nice sound system I could blast some Hank Jr., interior was mint. New steel on most panels, paint was good. I did make a huge mistake and put a 6" lift on it, should've just went with a 3". I miss that rig.

The first time I went overseas no one ever briefed me that the gov would pay to store one vehicle, didn't have anywhere to put it, so I sold it.
