truck suggestions

bmstyle71 · 12-31-2008, 01:37 AM

Hey guys, I was looking into getting a truck for the purpose of
1) reducing miles on my ///m when I'm just taking a short hop to the store.
2) Taking my dogs out every now and then.
3) haul my motorcycle (when I get it) not behind the truck, on the truck.
4) When I buy over sized items.

In other words I'm not looking for the latest tech and all this bling and add ons. Just a simple, cheap and fairly reliable truck that won't crap out on me the next day. I was looking at a 2000 F-150 (because I don't know much about trucks and that's the only truck I know off). Also, would a truck like that be able to tow my ///m or is it too underpowered or underweight? Thanks guys.

Id go for about a 2003 dodge ram 2500 diesel. My pops had one with a bully dog tuning chip and that thing would haul ass and get 25mpg.

diesel is the way to go. I used to sell Ford F series trucks; i've seen diesel with high mileage and they still tick.

I've got a 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500 2wd. Love Chevys, good all around all purpose truck. I use it to haul around my bikes for track days and it can definitely haul an ///M. Chose gas engine over diesel because I didn't need a heavy duty truck as a multi-purpose daily driver. It's got just the right amount of good looks and features without being overly bling. Good luck with your decision.

Is that a 1098R???????

Avoid Dodge if you want reliability, Ford F150 if you want to be cheap, I dont recommend the older Ford Diesels, 2006 and up they are pretty strong and reliable.

I heard they suck and they are a bunch of scammers over there.
