Options for trucks? Dodge? Ford?

My sister has the exact truck you are looking at, but in blue. Like Milhouse mentioned, she's having transmission problems and the thing is a 2001. For the small trucks, I'd recommend the Toyotas. I think they are the best looking, and the most reliable. They are a little more expensive, though.

What kind of transmission problems? Major shit that warranty doesn't cover? Or small things easily fixed?

You will also find electical problems with the dodge. These have never been good in the long run. They are nice.. but if you plan on keeping it.. AVOID the dodge.

I have a chevy zr2. Mine looks like this one.. but this is not mine. It has a 4.3 litre.. it has alot of power.

I don't know all the details, as we don't talk that much. The last time I saw her, she was saying that her truck had been in and out of the shop with LOTS of problems. I can only imagine they were little things, as big ones wouldn't allow that sort of turnover.

Before this one I had a 1999 Tacoma 4WD... it was WAY cheaper.. and WAY weaker. It had a pussy motor and no room. If you get the jap truck.. make sure to get the biggest motor they make. Mine was really weak. They forgot to put the special rice mixture in.

I thought that was an after market add on, like a turbo muffler and ground effects

That depends.. see it comes with steamed.. but it is extra for fried.

The small Chevs are nice looking, my neighbor has one. If I hadn't got the Dodge, I would have got a Chev.

And Fro - no, the big Truck's 24 years old this year. You're pushing 30? Thought you were a youngster.
