what kind of truck should I get? Going shopping tomorrow.

Well, my damn jeep broke down again, so I'm going to lease something new. I am on a college student's budget, so I'm not gonna be getting a Dodge Ram or F-350. Prolly somethin a lot cheaper like an S-10 ext cab, or Tacoma. What kind of car or trucks do you guys recommend I look at for under $20,000??? Thanks

P.S. I'm not getting any used car because I'm tired of dealing with used car problems.

well... if you lived in ohio and posted this 3 weeks ago you could have taken over the lease on my s10 xcab ZR2 for only 250/month

i loved that truck *sniff* *sniff*

but you won't be able to get a price like that on it now..

no incentives now and it was leased with a gm employee discount.

you'd be more in the $320-350 range now on it.

Agreed. Can't go wrong with any ford truck.

Rangers are nice but..

The rangers are kinda underpowered the v6 is ok but...

Try a dodge dakota extended cab sport 4x4, with the magnum v8. Yeah thats power and style!
Tint the windows, a good bed cover, tight wheels and your pimped and ready to go.
Look for a 1999, or so and they should be available at a good payment.

Look at the Dodge Dakota with the 4.7 litre V-8. I drove the Durango with the same engine, and holy fuck did it move!!!

BTW- do some research on the internet first- will save you some big coin!!!!!

If you like the smaller Japanese Imports, try:

Toyota Tacoma PreRunner V6 Xtr cab *
Nissan Frontier Desert Runner

4x4 Chassis/suspension and height without the xfer case...

I drive an S-10 4.3L V6 and you can't find more torque in a V6 Engine Engine IMO...
