Another thing to note is ease of repair. My folks have been using my dad’s 65 CJ5 jeep and a 04 John Deere tractor. Can’t remember the exactly the model off the top of my head but they are both used as work wood haulers. The jeep has broken down a few times but it doesn’t take longer than a afternoon to make repairs but the tractor has only broken down less because we don’t use it as often because it always takes a week to fix the things that go wrong. We also have a 15 F150 to haul wood and stuff but because it’s new and we got it in really nice condition so we try to baby it as much as we can when loading up fire wood into the bed. My 56 bel air is surprisingly straight up reliable I’ve never had to work on it as often as our modern cars but yet again we use it less and baby it when we can.
