2 of 7 full size pickups. So, to answer your question in three words - You can do better.
Almost all libraries keep Consumers Reports on their shelves. Best to get that library card out and take advantage of some of the taxes you pay.
6L is a great engine. it will tow 6-8k no trouble.
I would much rather have this than a ford of the same era.
It will be good for what you are wanting to do with it, just be prepared it's gonna get about 10 miles to the gallon but you can search these forums there are many threads on these models with a 6.0 and somewhere usually after 8 or 10 pages of positive reviews a hater will come along, so that should tell you something, these models are still found out there everywhere, except at a mechanic's shop.Thank all of you who answered my post the miles are high but the truck is clean. Truth be told i can't afford a newer truck retired on a fixed income and will use it no more then 4-5 times a month my trailer is 83x20 14k thats why i asked about 8k.
