Hey folks,
???'s in general and TX specific.
We are looking to buy a pickup in TX (Dallas area and a little east). General question is :
Want a 4x4, 4dr (at least extended cab), tow package, low miles, 20+/- a couple highway mpg, std trans (could flex), and 1/2 ton (3/4 worse case).
I like Ford (w/ inline 6), she don't know what she likes except dodge looks cool :roll:
She saw some king ranch addition fords that she liked but I don't care what it says. My buddy has a new ford w/ cab & 1/2 (? suicide half back doors?) that is acceptable to us.
Hardest job will be a 2 ton horse trailer w/ surge brakes @ 50 mph on good roads.
2006 or newer but would look at something older if a real prize. Diesel was a preference, but gas is prolly the most cost effective because 12k miles a year will be high mileage for it.
What should I look at and about what would I expect to pay in the Dallas area (have a to the door delivery quote from Clifton, TX).
Real partial to Ford cause they didn't sell out and I can't remember anything other than a Ford truck in the family.
Any ideas? Like to pick up something <$15 but not holding my breath.
Thanks for any advice
Dave
