[QUOTE="Welderd, post: 662159, member: 144"] I have one for sale on here I've owned 3 so far and it's the best way to go in my mind box truck loose alot of value after about 10 years of age, regardless of mileages and condition just because they can't get shipping contracts from big name companies. you can pick them up for 15-30k depending on how fancy you want to get. I prefer to stay at the lower end of the price range because really they have no resale market. Just buy it and use it and enjoy it. I can't understand people paying 40-50k for a diesel truck, buying a trailer and still having a tent or hotel. Unless you are making money with that pickup truck it's a big waste. Cons - it's going to be an old loud work truck. it's been used to make money and used it's not a brand new pickup with leather heated seats the deck height is 48" for dock high trucks - discountramps.com CDL or register as RV it's big you think people wanted help moving when you had a pickup, now guess what - you have a moving truck. Deck height and ramps usually can convince them it's not worth it. Pros - cheap air brakes air ride sleeper/camper enclosed hauling pull multiple vehicles with ease and have pre-pitched tent for buddies leave rig loaded leave tools and spares loaded jump in and go for a weekend another reason for the older trucks is that it doesn't look like you have a bunch of money, theives don't want to knock off a moving truck but a rig on open trailer with truck bed full of stuff is more enticing in a walmart parking lot [/QUOTE]
