These are not in any particular order. I have not looked at these yet. But these are some trucks that I am considering.


Truck #1

Picture TBD..

I would rather have a 4WD And leaning towards the newer of the list of trucks. I like white, pewter, and Charcoal and are in my idea of professional looking trucks. I think that black truck looks pretty but would not want a black truck. I am more of a fan of a crew cab but extended cab will work. I would rather not have a manual transmission with a gasser. And the 94 Diesel I don't think is Turbo. I need to look into that but I thought the older 6.5 diesels were not Diesel.

Basically looking for a truck to pull my Enclosed trailer(Maintenance Truck)... Basically trying to relieve the use of my/our personal vehicles. Not a daily driver but a daily puller. I would also like it to be capable of a goose neck if I choose to get one.

Yeah I am a pain... But I need to get something before things get to busy.

They all look alike and have some weird thing on the front. :p So I thought the best looking one was #1.:confused:

I would say 1, 5, or 6 in no particular order. But 6 looks pretty good due to the part replacements and it's a diesel. But I would consider what YOU need and want and go with your gut on one.

Why buy new when you can restore?

Truck #6 is great is you are towing and want a diesel (only diesel I see), but I don't know the difference engine wise for the diesels. I personally prefer the 95+ interior myself.

Truck #2
is very nice and clean, but doesn't list a mileage.

Truck #1
is the newest (besides the last two). Has the same interior as #2 and only has 161k, but I'd like to know what they mean by "fair" condition; especially since it was used "on a horse farm".

GMT-400 FTW!!! :rocker:


I was reading a few weeks ago on the 454 VS 6.5 TD. Guys seemed to be going back and forth on them. The 454 was great is you were always towing (since it gets the same loaded and unloaded). The 6.5 TD has better highway mileage unloaded, but I've never driven one to know what they do while towing. Some guys were saying they suck, others say they're great. :dunno:
