Question
DTro
I think the planets have finally aligned and I think I'm ready to pull the trigger on a truck.
For discussion sake let's use these numbers for a reference:
Budget of 20K or less (less is always better )
Married with no kids
Drive approx 15-20k/yr
Small alum 14ft boat
No other toys to haul around yet (possible 4 wheeler purchase later this year)
4x4 for sure
I'm thinking I would like an outside box (non SUV) for the unmentionables that a catfisherman totes around
I'm leaning heavily towards a double cab Tacoma. I've also eyed a few Ford Explorer Sportracs. The options/creature comforts you can get on a domestic vehicle blows away the Tacoma. On the other hand, none of my Toyotas have seen the repair shop yet.
I haven't ruled out a fullsize truck. Is the MPG gain worth the sacrifice in space?
Obviously this will have to be a used vehicle with my budget.
Opinions?
