Truck or SUV for 2500 dollars or less.

To drive everyday, what would you buy?

[Ryan...]

Jeep Cherokee.

[Danny]

Excellent start! Now give me some info on them.

[nickflic3]

Danny are all your cars fukd? What happened to the "all mighty max"?

[JasonC]

I'd look for a V6 5 speed S-10. Or if you want a little more pep, look for a V8 Dodge Dakota.

[Ryan...]

My 1991 Jeep cherokee had the 4.0 I6 with 245k on the clock. I paid $700 for it and it was rolled twice, tipped once, submerged up to the windshield once, and slid into trees all within 2 years of me owning it. It never failed to start in the morning, and never failed to get me anywhere I needed/wanted to be. It also looked completely badass when covered in dirt, trees, and my misc road dwelling creatures. Best $700 I ever spent.

*Edit- I also jumped a giant snow pile and cracked the radiator, headlights and possibly my skull. Still drove like a charm afterwords :)

Sold it to a friend who's wife had a baby because he really needed a car.

What do you think of the older late 80s/early 90s Rangers, Jason?

Wow I like that.

I'm DD a full size now. I like both, but something tells me Danny would like the smaller trucks.

[Ryan...]

It was my trail riding/DD for the entire time I owned it. I wish I hadn't sold it :(

[Danny]

Yeah I'm not interested in something full sized. A cherokee/4runner would be about as big as I'd want to go.

[xwill112x]

a s10 is more realiable than the ford ranger unless you get the 2.3...which is gutless. i would suggest a cherokee 4.0 for suv, and a 4.3 s10 for a truck.

I couldn't give you a straight answer on that, i'm not into Fords that much. Sorry.

[Danny]

Would you stray away from the autos in the Chevy's Jason?

yeah what you got full size now?????

A s10 ex cab, 2wd and a 5spd would be a good option and what I would be looking for in his situation
