He answered with.."My Ford is almost 20 years old...You can't haul much with that thing can you?"
I just didn't know what to answer him with that. I just smiled and walked to my car.

I don't know, seems like a reasonable response to me. You spoke up about your car, its age, and a characteristic his vehicle couldn't duplicate.
He responded with his truck, its age, and a characteristic your vehicle couldn't duplicate.
If you had started off talking about his vehicle first instead of yours it might have gone differently.
