truck opinions (with pics)
 
ok well as soon as i sell my monte carlo roller it will put me at the 2500 mark to spend on a truck. i was looking into a replacement monte ss but a truck would be more practical. i want to get some opinions so here are the couple options i found that stood out to me so far. if you know of anyone selling a good truck for 2500 or less let me know.

out of these ones im really leaning toward the 92 f150

1988 f 350

1992 bronco
http://southjersey.craigslist.org/cto/980145118.html

1998 tahoe
http://southjersey.craigslist.org/cto/1001143382.html

1992 f150
http://southjersey.craigslist.org/cto/1008240571.html

How do you plan to use it?

The F150 and F350 are both ok looking trucks and set up more for wheeling from the looks of it. The Bronco and the Tahoe are cleaner and would better lend themselves to highway life.

If I was going to pick one to compromise, I would have to look at the Bronco. Good storage, lots of aftermarket, and good power. Just look it over really good for rust. Broncos rust out tailgates and wheel wells.

Tahoe... why? Don't have a real good reason, just "because" hahahah

the tahoe looks really clean and a nice cruiser

emolineaux 01-28-2009 07:53 PM

the tahoe is nice but i acutally like ford trucks alot. i like the bronco alot but i would be taking this truck off road every now and again. but mainly for driving to work and what not and want a pickup for hauling bigger items

emolineaux 01-28-2009 07:56 PM

the only thing i dont like on the tahoe is its got 185k on it

maroman88 01-28-2009 08:06 PM

well both ford trucks are lifted.... aka had the crap beaten out of them off road already... broncos are awesome and cool and all but like it says its already starting to rust..haha at ford! this leaves us with the tahoe, even tho it has 185k miles, it most likely hasnt been beaten on at all, id rather have a newer high milage car then an older average milage car, plus its got leather and in dash cd changer, plenty of cargo room, 4 doors blahblahblahhhhhh the 'hoe wins

81malibu 01-28-2009 08:16 PM

ive been up in the air about the car for the past 2 months now. and i finally am just parting with it. thats why i sold the engine and trans and i have someone that might be picking the monte up this weekend. so now i want a truck again so i dont wreck my camaro in bad weather

TheBandit 01-28-2009 08:31 PM

you can buy my buddys truck. It was just in an accident though. He'd probably take like $500. i believe its a 91 2500. bigger tires i think. around 150k on it i think. Pretty decent truck. just the rearend and front need fixing

emolineaux 01-28-2009 08:42 PM

yea but working for dodge for 2 years i know everything that goes wrong with them and i know what is and isnt available for them and yea idk.

crazyblazer87 01-28-2009 08:43 PM

if you are looking to spend a little bit of money (2000-3000) you probably not going to get a truck that was properly maint. and looks good and needs nothing. Just go buy a new truck then.
