Your not a handyman doing work in one of those.<br /><br />But just get a suburu all wheel drive - Forester is Consumer Reports SUV of the year and they start at 20K -less gas - less repairs - unless you need to haul 4 X 8 sheets of plywood or drywall why waste all the gas and go thru all the repairs a used truck will eventually need, ie. tires.  <br /><br />As for who you are - do you want people lookin at you crazy if your really a pastor pretending to be a handyman.<br /><br />Why do you want a truck Bro?<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br /><br />LOL, You are a funny man Odd8all.  <br /><br />I just want a truck for the versatility of it.  <br /><br />I used to work construction and really liked having the truck back then.<br /><br />There have been several occasions where I could have used one and thought it&#39;d be nice to have one again.<br /><br />I&#39;m not looking to pay anything near 20k for a vehicle.... MAX 3600.00......... trucks around here are going really cheap because of gas prices and so I figure now is the time to get one.<br /><br />So far the F150 is dominating.  I can get an F150 w/out four wheel drive and it&#39;ll get 20 miles per gallon with the 4.2L engine.<br /><br />Thanks for the input so far.
