[QUOTE="Ouachita, post: 1820714, member: 16802"] My '06 Chevy 2wd does fine for 90% of the miles I drive. I did need a heavy duty truck for farm related. It took me several months to find one because I wasn't willing to spend more than $10k. Every time I saw an ad of a good prospect, I was always a day late. I finally got lucky. A '99 F350 at 320,000 miles, it was older and was higher mileage than I wanted, but it was a fleet truck that spent almost all of those miles on the interstate. It does have some cosmetic warts and hickeys, but is in great mechanical condition. For $9,500 I think I've found my forever truck. Trucks used for driving hours at a time on the highway don't see that much wear and tear. It is a much nicer vehicle inside and out than my '06 with 240,000 miles. The driver seat didn't even have the common slide-out damage. The power windows must be turbocharged. I have to be sure the dog ain't got his head out the window. For the amount I was willing to spend for an extra vehicle, I learned that patience and especially willingness to consider older and higher mileage trucks, and then calling as soon as you see an ad. Be ready, with cash, to go fetch it immediately. They are out there but pickin's is slim. [/QUOTE]
