Like posted before 1/2 ton chevy. Will do everything you want and can be had within your budget in reasonable condition if you shop around.

been doing some searching and have found a bunch of chevys, early 2000s are available for a good price it seems. My other option would be to buy a truck for a couple grand, to purely use when i needed to tow or throw something in the bed. I don’t tow often but i do need a truck bed for lumber commonly. When i tow it’s usually my s2000, or a 2up enclosed snowmobile trailer. I could settle with a standard cab, roll up windows high mileage beater and get a car that’s good on gas and reliable for 10grand. Looking around it seems like there is a lot more car you can get for 10grand than a truck

My friend had a rusted out auto Tacoma that had a fucked front end from hitting a deer at 60mph and the whole passenger side got sideswiped by a drunk driver. Couldn’t open the pass doors. Needless to say he chose to take the kbb excellent book value :rofl

a friend of mine had a piece of shit tacoma he bought for 3grand and they gave him 7grand for it. He was suppose to get a new tacoma in the process so they gave him a brand new carolla to drive around while they located a truck for him. he drove it for 3 months and then decided he didn’t want a new tacoma and took the check lol

If you want a cheap beater theres an '04 Silverado 2wd regular cab shortbed at Valley Motors on Erie Boulevard across from Stewarts for $2650. Its got 234k.

No more 2wd trucks or baby trucks for me.

If my truck was 2wd I’d be stuck ALL of the time. It’d be awful haha.

I never had a huge issue with the two 2wd’s I owned except for getting the S10 stuck on the rear differential at a junkyard

I probably left pavement more with my 2wd S10 than with my 4x4 F150 actually. I did go offroading quite a bit with my '89 S10 4x4 though. There used to be a good spot for trucks around the corner until some treehugging Prius drivers made it a nature preserve.
I never washed that POS the whole time I owned it.

You don’t need 4 wheel drive or a pickup truck to go off road. #Truth

What if you took the Tacoma back to stock, sold the parts and used the money from the parts as a down payment to refinance the loan on the truck? Not sure if it would work for ya but you wouldn’t have to shop for a new car.

That’s true, you could put it to stock sell the parts and pay off the the bike and refinance and cut your payment in half and have a brand new truck. That’s not a horrible idea.
I’ve been kicking around the idea of selling my tundra too, but then again I need a truck so I’ll probably just keep it till its paid for and then some.

not for me. I like my tacoma but i like it they way it is now. I hate the way they look stock and i knew that when i was origionally shopping for one. I want a full size so i can tow some more weight, have a larger bed and add a plow if need be.

So after quite a bit of searching i’ve found that an 04-05 ford f150 4x4 supercrew fits my needs and budget for this one. With a little research i’ve found i can get a xlt version with under 100kmi and for under 10k quite easily. When it comes down to it i may spend a little more for the fx4 version, or accept something with slightly higher miles. I’ve never been a big fan of ford trucks but i do like the 04+ body style and are right within my budget.
Anyone want to talk me out of one?
