    Should I buy this truck?

    My 2-year search for a hay truck might have finally ended. At the outset, I wanted a long tandem, 6x6, automatic. Budget was only $30,000, so as you can imagine, it greatly limited my choices. Looked all over the country and found many of them, but most were over $50,000. They would also need...

    RTV or Mini Truck? Thoughts?

    I have a 2008 Kubota RTV900. been a great machine - now Kubota has an RTV that has a 6' bed (X1130). I plan on trading in my RTV900 for that newer model (once they update it with the X upgrades) but another consideration is a dump bed Mini Truck. My hesitation with the MT is that when I use my...

    My Little Blue Truck is Coming Home

    I bought a Toyota Pickup, new in October of 77. 20R, with the five-speed. Drove it for 245,000-miles. In 1998 I decided to try to make it not pass smog, to justify in my mind buying something newer. Quit changing the oil and doing tune-ups. In 2001, it finally didn't pass smog. It probably...

Same truck at 124k miles and their telling me ticking time bomb for the transmission to fail. Some recent horror stories...

    Any ideas to improve storage use of my truck bed toolbox?

    I bought a used truck bed toolbox because I could use it to secure chains, binders, tools and such when I go to auctions. I've never owned one before. It's great but is just a big box with no sliding shelf or anything to make it more useful. As it There's a lip I am thinking of building a...

    Do used truck prices jump in mid December?

    I've been in the market for another truck. Found one I liked on Carfax for $36.9K, sent a message about it. No reply from dealer next day. Two days later price at dealer is up to $38K. Do they raise prices just before they drop them for a News Years sale?

    I'm needing another (used) truck to haul my 7,000 tractor w/implements. Trailer is a 20' PJ, around 2,000 pounds. Total gross is around 9,000 pounds. Would a mid-size truck such as a Colorado, Ranger, or Tacoma handle it? Or if not, what's the smallest truck that I should consider? Factor in...

    Owning a new(er) tractor that's too heavy to haul with your pickup?

    Is that just a dumb idea? Paying to get it hauled to the dealer would get expensive, but I would do all the basic maintenance and repairs myself, on site. Some of these 75-100hp utility tractors I'm looking at are going to be 7-10,000lbs with a loader. Factor in a trailer (4,000lbs? at least)...

    Amazing new truck

    Not saying I would buy one, but this is a new truck on the market with amazing features. I like the base 6 cylinder diesel engine option. The product video is long but highlights some pretty innovative features.

    Is there a safe way to pump gasoline into a plastic tank in the bed of a truck?

    I'm currently using 5 gal poly fuel cans for gas and diesel and put them on the ground when I fill them. I'm contemplating going up to 10 or 15 gallon cans, and I know they make 50+ gallon poly tanks with pump that have fork slots in them. All those sizes pose a problem getting back into the...

    Intimidator G1K truck?

    Any owners or users have one to comment on? I'm not interested in the EV or "base" models. I don't need >60MPH velocity but, the flatbed looks really nice. I have mixed feelings about the Kubota RTV1140 and JD Gator. Kubota 1140's are also pretty rare around where I live as well and JD seems...
