This isn't quite a home repair question, but it is related. Plus, I
knew I could count on the collective wisdom of this group.

I am looking to buy a small to medium used pick-up truck between now
and next May. I've only got about $3,000 to $4,000 to spend, but I'm
hoping to squeeze about five good years out of this truck until I can
get a good full-time job.

I've heard Toyota Tacomas are good trucks, but those seem kind of
expensive, even in the 1996-1997 model years. Ford Rangers look
pretty good, but I don't know how reliable they are.

Look for a single-owner F-150. Keep reading the classified ads where
you live. Some of these trucks were hardly ever used as trucks and
have a lot of service left in them.

I only mentioned Ford, because I owned two of them and they were both
excellent!




there's been a lot of F-150 fires....
