I swapped out the mono leaf suspension in the rear for 4 leaf springs from the 4dr explorer that I’ll try out this year. I work for abrams now and all of our trucks are 6L GM’s and Chevs HD’s they all run fine and some have about 500,000km. > > I really would recommend a v8 truck GM or Chev and not a light truck and if you do go with a Ford, get a diesel their gas engines are shit. I’ll be getting rid of my Ford at the first opportunity and getting a v8 truck the engine that is in my truck is outta mustangs. its a pretty reliable and proven engine. i agree though that ford explorers are shit. honestly i tow a massive enclosed trailor and i have never once felt under powered or not in control. as far as i am concerted a truck is a truck and 90’s chevs are fucking ugly. i was a ford hater now turned into a ford owner. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/good-cheap-tow-vehicles/122608)._
