    I’m considering buying a pick up truck. Never owned one. I’ve watched a ton of you tube videos and read about various manufacturers. The only thing I’m settled on is a 4dr and 4x4. Are the smaller trucks, Tacoma or Ranger worth it? Or stick to the “f150” larger trucks. Just wondering what you pinside people drive, had or dislike.

    Just driving and hauling stuff around in the bed. Tired of cramming stuff into a car or having to borrow a truck or van.

    The Ram is very nice. Also, I was shocked at the price for some of these trucks.

    Thanks for all of the input. I don't know why, its hard to decide on which brand when it comes to trucks. The van is another option, I had never thought about.

    Quoted from TractorDoc:

    I like pickup trucks.
    The only car I've ever owned was my first (70 Chevelle) -- from there on it was always a pickup of some sort.
    Personally, I drive an older '97 Dodge with the Cummins Engine and a five speed manual -- probably not a good recommendation but I like this truck as the engine is all mechanical with no electrics to deal with (I can work on/service it). I don't drive it every day or in winter due to the rust issues with the salt. . . or just rust issues in general on these trucks
    I know its a matter of preference but I like the styling of the second generation Dodge trucks as well as the sound -- even with the stock exhaust you know when I'm coming up the driveway.

    As other posters have mentioned, there are a lot of better and overall good options out there.
    I have owned a couple vans and even at 200K my All Wheel Drive Astro Van would go anywhere in the snow. . . it just gave off too much of a "I want to steal your children" vibe to keep around. As a first time truck owner I might suggest starting with something smaller -- this way you can get a feel for how much you will need/use a truck to do truck things while still zipping around in something car sized.
    My daily driver is a Jeep Wrangler and I do like it (not a truck, I know) -- they are supposedly coming out with a Wrangler Pickup which looks fun.
    [quoted image]
    Wranglers tend to hold their value but the pickup will be a new design and "unproven."
    Toyotas are reliable and hold their value -- I would not be against owning one someday if the towing/hauling duties become less of a priority.
    End of story is no matter what type or model of truck you get you will use it for all kinds of things. . . maybe even wonder how you got along without one!

    If they do this model...
