You also need to get ready mentally for when it has a sudden hiccup/breakdown. It will put a kink into yer plans... cuz now you gotta fix it, unless you have another vehicle you can roll in.
They key to that is the last part. Except, when the "other" vehicle is either down for repairs or not available, then having a substantially old pickup for a daily--in SoCal--isn't the smartest thing unless it's as mechanically sound as can be. Constant congested traffic typically determines how much you can drive old cars/trucks, not to mention what type.
