Best Truck Around $8k

**skinnyhb** · 05-20-2008, 05:43 PM

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 highly doubt you will find a tundra for 8000. but if you could find one then i would go with toyota my self.

He probably could but he's looking at high mileage

I bought a Lincoln Mark LT about a year ago, the mileage isn't that great but not terrible. I think I get around 18 highway but then again it's not a big badass truck. More so a luxury truck!

doubt you'll find a nice 4x4 for 8k... maybe one of the smaller trucks... canyon, colorado, tacoma... etc. a full size USED 4x4 is usually around 13-15k. But there are always deals to be found. GL. 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.
