Considering getting a late model pick up truck. Now just considering since I have to dump some money into my Jeep and I have been trying to sell this Expo now for a while and think it might just be the best idea to go with something new to me and practical.
I have been looking at late model Fords, Dodges and GM's. I am leaning towards Ford for obvious reasons, but there are far more low milage late model Dodges and GMs for lower prices out there. How are all these engines for reliabilty, etc etc.
I've only ever driven a triton v8 in my parents old conversion E-150, kind of a different animal I know. lol
I am looking to get a crew-cab 4x4 with a v8. I looked at diesel trucks but they are far more expensive.
Now this is just me contemplating the change since I really do not want another car payment, but I have to do something soon. Looking for insight and concerns on these powerplants. I also am not opposed to a Nissan or Toy truck but they are more expensive in the used market.
Thanks,
John
btw: I don't want to go new, way too damn expensive, but do not want to go bottom rung for cheapness sake. I have limited myself to somewhat of handicap I know but 15k is the absolute max price I want to go for this.
