Looking for some spks don't really care what kind but not real old or beat up ones. Also looking for a new truck. Needs to be 4wd and get decent milage but still be able to tow. I got around 10000 to spend. I know ns is the perfect place to buy a truck.
 
yeah i didn't really expect to find one on here. Just thought it would help me get bumps for the boots. And if I did find one it would be sweet.
 
Just some advice for you on the truck as a truck guy and a contractor: I've found the best bang for your buck without the frills is a Dodge Ram. For 10 grand you can probably get yourself an '04 or even an '05 quad cab 4x4 with a little higher miles. If you are crazy and have no schedule, look on craigslist in the Tampa and Orlando areas. For some reason they are cheaper in Florida. Don't buy from a dealer, you will pay tons of mark up. Look for something with 100,000 miles and in good shape and you can snag a great truck. Toyotas are awesome but just run a lot higher in price as well. I have a Dodge Ram with no frills at all and got an insane deal on a newer one. Good luck bro!

Oh, and P.s. you probably won't find one for 10k and good mileage until you buy an older diesel. 4x4 with good gas mileage and a bigger engine doesn't happen except with a diesel.
 
Thanks for the advice man. I will check out some rams. I am definitely staying away from dealers. Also looking into diesel. I dont need anything huge though. As long as it is geared so i can tow a sled i don't really care. A sled and trailer is not real heavy.
 
Toyota Taco is what you want man. Ive got a 2001 four cylinder tacoma that gets decent gas mileage still has 4wheel drive and fucking truckkkks.
 
i know of some 25.5 pro models for sale .. not sure on the price but i just sold my 24.5's to someone down sizing from the 25.5 ...pm me for their info
 
My f250 diesel gets close to 20mpg highway and somewhere between 10-15 city, not quite sure the exact numbers. Awesome truck, super reliable and awesome truck. It's a pain if its your daily driver though. I have an extended cab long bed and its almost impossible to park.
 
Thanks. Yeah it will be my daily driver. I dont want the long bed. For me the pain of the extra size is not worth it for the few times it would be helpful.
 
there's no such thing as a 5 cylinder lol. and a colorado is a good choice for ya, there are better mini trucks out there but the colorado is a good choice for sure congrats.
 
There is such thing. Its not common but its what it is. My dad has one and now I do also. Thanks for the congrats.
