HilljackZack well there’s definitely trucks you can find under 10k like the F-150’s and such but say like the Silverado 1500 it’s common to find high mileage ones at 13-14k, I just bought me a 2007 Tacoma with 129k miles on it for 14.5k

Has some rust and and broken leaf springs but I love the truck right now. Interested in getting new shocks and a functional lift kit on it. Truck was a single owner one as well. Pretty good find on that.

I bought a 2006 Ram 1500 for 9k in Alaska and I had to say I got really lucky cause it was a night runner edition and it was 1 owner and he literally has 50k miles on it and it has no rust completely zero rust I was surprised because it’s Alaska and the road conditions are pretty bad during winter with the salt on the road and potholes everywhere. The previous owner kept it in the garage and he only bring it out to go fishing

My brother just got 2007 f150 lariat with only 125,000 miles it has a really clean interior. No body rust. All terrain tires with 80% tread. It was only $4200 and it came with a canopy so he can probably sell that for $600. The only thing wrong with it is a small electrical issue but that doesnt really matter.

Whoa, I’m a Ford guy and all but I disagree the 6.0 PowerStroke should not have made the list, they are awful unless they are bulletproofed of which will run the same as a 7.3. P.S. those burnouts were 7.3s

[@jacobcvpi8279]

American Truck Nation you’ve got it wrong. The 6.0 is amazing without the bulletproofing, as long as you don’t put a hot tune on it, just leave it stock, and your 6.0 is good from the factory(I know it’s really hard to have a completely stock truck) and yes, I have had a 6.0, it’s my profile pic.

Anyone looking to get a 3rd gen Ram should A, get an 05+, and B, NOT floor it in 4th or 5th gear on the highway. I've heard the trans can blow those gears if you do that too much. Instead, press the towing mode button on the shifter stalk to drop it down into 3rd, THEN floor it. The reason to get an 05+ is for tuning. 02's had the OLD engines (318 and 360), and the 03's you can't tune. 04's you can partially tune, but it's spotty. 05 and up have no problem. As far as cosmetics like custom lights go, the 08's use more CANBUS than previous models, so things like getting the turn signals not to "hyper flash" with LED's might be a touch more difficult, so I've heard. Also, the 06-08 (face lift models) have slightly nicer and more modern looking interiors. Though, I don't like the huge headlights as much, and ALL headlights with eyelids look kinda crappy. Messed up thing is I don't like the bubbles on the pre-facelift lights either... Once I get one of these again, I'm either gonna put flat lenses on a pre-facelift light with some retrofit projectors and stuff, or I'll literally add some sheet metal over the post-facelift headlights so they look better. That, or I'll just get a 2014 MY 4th gen for that sweet sweet 8-speed trans! Decisions, decisions...

Uhhh in Mississippi 07-13s are in the 18-23k if you want a 4wd

I thought the 02-07 f-250 diesel 6.0 were notorious for many issue and needed to be bullet proofed to have any chance at reliability
