Whats a good cheap truck

[krwell]

I'm looking for a good cheap truck to buy and keep around for a while for all those occasions when you need a truck. Any suggestions? I was thinking about a newer F150. What do you guys think?

An old Toyota with the 22r would be diehard and cheap. Don't get an old Dakota whatever you do.

Your choice:

2000+ Silverado/Sierra Regular Cab 2WD
OR
2000+ F150 Regular Cab 2WD

Both are reasonably cheap, and will last a long time with the proper maintenance.

Tacoma or Dakota would be top of my list. For a cheaper truck.

For full-size, I would go for a Ram then a Tundra.

Compact truck: Ford Ranger - they take some a beating and get up and ask for more
Full size: F150: you'd probably be able to score a great deal on a 03 F150 since the 04's are rolling in and the 03 is a pretty old design

Wait a few months for the new F150 to come on the market, there will be a glut of the 97' on F150's on the used market (current body style).

Find a V8 auto longbed

Im looking at getting a 01 or 02 Silverado.

Get a used cheap truck if you're going to use it much.
And BTW, what truck design is not old? Most primitive automobile ever. Leafsprings <---- 19 century tech.
