New Hunting Rig
Well my 12 year old F-150 died last week. The tranny is shot, and with the rust setting in all over the place it is time to retire the old girl.
Looking for new Rig
1997 Dodge Dakota 6 cylinder 4X4 Club Cab 54,000 miles
1999 Silverdo 8 cylinder 4X4 Regular cab 8 foot bed. 87,000 miles
Anyone out there own a Dakota? I like the price of this one.

RE: New Hunting Rig
im partial to chevy/gmc. ive got a 2001 sierra 4x4 with a long bed, just like the silverado your looking into, but mine has 110,000 miles. i suggest the silverado for the bigger bed area as well, that is if you use a bed like i do. i HAVE to have my long bed for the landscaping i do. will you use it for any hauling besides a deer every now and then?

Why not buy new? Warranty is your friend, and most manufacturers out there are giving killer deals on interest rates because they're all having a hard time selling anything that isn't hybrid.

also.I put 13,000 miles on my truck the last 5 years. I have a small car I drive back and fourth to work in.
Loosing 30% when I sign just drives me nuts, now my wife gets a new car, but I have no control over her
GMMAT I drive them until they stop, just like that damn ford did. The tranny sounded like a gun going off, LOL it was ugly

Friend to friend.....I'd get an old Suburban.....even an older model.
LOTS of people drive these as company vehicles....and you can find some with high miles still in REALLY good shape.
THAT is what I'd do.
