Im wanting a good smaller truck that can haul a sled or a quad that can fit in the back. What do you all think would be good for me.:chevy:
It`s a quad or a truck i can decide but I want to get something

How can you put a Dodge? In the same sentence as a ford. Don't mix them up.
Ford =Bad
Dodge = Good. I liked my Dakota but it had the 318 and went like stink, not too sure if I would buy the V-6:d

I only like the good things in life:d
Before I met my wife they all drove "Chevys" now they all drive Dodge, it is a trickle down effect. Don't worry it will eventually get to you also.:)

1. Chelle, quite the avitar...quite but doesn't quite suit your lifestyle young lady...:rollinglaugh:
2. Powdergirl, funny how quick everyone is to tag their favorite brand....lol...
Pick a truck that will meet your needs, maybe a extended cab for the rugrats. Once you've picked it (if it's used) take it into a shop and have it inspected to avoid buying a piece of junk. You might even want to send Summitric a PM, he has a program that lists many of the common problems on vehicles.
Good luck and keep us informed on what you do...and of course...post photos.

I agree with The Killer Bunny, Powdergirl, get out there and drive the smaller trucks, find what you like driving, and then decide the features you want in the vehicle, also doesn't hurt to take someone knowledgeable about "noises" with you when you are test driving to buy, vehicles can make some weird noises, and someone who knows what they are can either make or break a deal for you.

Inspections are very important, when I bought my Exploder I bought it at Mayfield Toyota, but took it to a mechanic I know in Spruce Grove to have it checked over before I signed any papers, and even he missed a couple things that came up over the few weeks after I bought it.

Good luck in your search!

Try out a Toyota Tacoma then next year you can get a quad with all the repair money you saved by buying an import.:p

TG started out good.......go to Mayfield Toyota.......walk passed the used and abused, sloppy seconds are still sloppy seconds no matter how much Armour-All they spray on them........Slide your azz behind the wheel of a new Tacoma.....breathe deep...smell that new vehicle scent.....pick a color..........collect NEW TRUCK.....go passed the inspection station....smile......no need to act like a poisoned rat waiting for a used one to break down.:eek:
GOT: virgin truck with warranty:d:d

I agree nothing is quite like a new truck but the feeling of paying one off is a close second.

What do you mean? I always pilot my downhill rig in a frock and heels. Wait til you see my sled outfit. That dress almost matches the Honda red of my dirt rocket too. Kidding!!! Riding in dresses and heels is dangerous.

OK, back to talking about trucks.
