Just wondering if anyone has any input on my recent dilemma. I'd like to get a new (to me) truck. I'd like to spend about $8k, but I can go all the way up to 10 or 11 if I find a dream car. I would like something 4x4 with decent power.

get your self a dodge ram 4x4. i bought mine for $13000 but mine is a dodge ram sport 4x4 4door with security system and remote start. i dont have the hemi but my has a 360 under the hood. and has duel mega flow exuast. ive been pretty happy with it so far. for your money i think that dodge is the way to go. chevies or just too damn much and the newer fords are too.
I would get a 2004-2005 Ford F150 like

Or a Toyota Tundra around the same years.
i highly doubt you will find a tundra for 8000. but if you could find one then i would go with toyota my self.Quote:

i'd stay away from dodge, my dakota gave me nothing but problems
amen I had one 35,000 mile the rear end locked up by by tranny. Took me two fords to relize chevy was the superior. I got a sweet 2500 with a 8 ft fisher hd plow.Quote:

On 2nd thought, if mileage and year aren't really an issue, it would make your search a lot easier. as Older model trucks seem to be popping up everywhere.
