If you were to go to the new truck dealer of your choice and pick out a new, priced like your first house, truck does not mean you will make the trip without problems. I knew a wrecker company owner who worked for several of the local dealers and he was always dragging in new very low miles trucks that broke down or blew up. Reliability of a well maintained vehicle is good and the truck has already established a known pattern of being reliable. I would not have any issues driving anywhere with it.

I would have a wrecker follow me.............just kidding. But your current ins may have toad service included, make sure you take that number, that way you won't need it. And I don't know what the fuel filter set up is on that truck, and I don't know if it has been mentioned but I would change it and take a spare. Otherwise your truck will like the road trip.

Hello all, I recently inherited a real cherry 1991 Chevy pickup from my grandfather with 87k original miles on it and I’m gonna be driving it from OKC to Conway, AR to my mom’s house. I plan on putting new tires on it, getting it tuned up, fluids topped off, brakes checked, etc. The truck has been well maintained all its life and I currently drive it all over the OKC metro and it never skips a beat. It should be ok to make the trip, right?
Yep, good tires, drive it to California and back.
