Trucks Buying one


Crash1647545504

Recommended Posts

So i have never owned a truck, I have been shopping for trucks this past month and would like to read some opinions. (pros cons)

 

I am looking for somthing 4x4 no bigger than a 1500. Something that can haul a heavy load..

 

Looked at ford f150, dodge ram1500, silverado 1500, s-10 crew cabs, rangers so on so forth

 

It is something that will be driven long distances on a regular basis, driven through extream winter conditions (4ft snow storms and -30 temps), and I will be hauling heavy loads often (up to 4 motorcycles).

 

Thanks

Price Range? Cab configuration??

 

I'll give my personal preference. IMO, a quad cab is the only way to go if you want something truely well rounded.

 

The S10/Ranger is too small for what you really want. Can probably pull it off, but I'd suggest going with something like the others mentioned.

 

I'd still suggest the Avalanche if you want a quad cab. Why? It can do everything a quad cab truck can do + some stuff they can't do, and rides better. I don't have any issues pulling my boat or towing a car.

I am looking for something year 2000+ for 10 and under. The crew cab was the appeal of the s10 staying well within the price range. But i am also finding 1500 extended cab trucks for about the same price.

My brother is in used cars at Hatfield kia I know he has great deals for the people I send

 

to him being a sales manager ..he can do it //p.m me ill give you his number or call up there and ask for Tim Moore in used cars

this is a great deal...

 

do you happen to have any sitting around for under 10?

 

Afording a nice big barley used truck is out of my finances. Besides I am more looking for input on common problems that the trucks I listed have. And, or, suggestions on alternative vehicals within my price range, 10k and under.

Well its gonna be hard to find a good fullsize truck as new as you want without a ton of miles and capable of what you want to do for under 10k... maybe try looking for something with cosmetic damage or something, if you dont care about that. A friend of mine picked up a nice full size dodge a couple years ago that had hail damage, wasnt that bad, but you could tell. good luck

Nissan Titan ext. cab /thread ;)

 

...have you ever driven one before or do you think they are just pretty? They don't tow for shit, those Dana rear ends they put in those are junk. I've known multiple people who have blown out rear ends in those cars just hauling a trailer with a car shell.
