Because I was considering purchasing a Toyota. But unfortunately finding an older model (1980's) around here that fits me has been rather difficult. I'm not fond of any of the ones built in the last 10 years, they look fugly to me.

I would even consider a Nissan hard body like a 1987-88 model but even those are hard to find. Well I did find one but it was overpriced for a salvage titled 200k + miles with bullet holes in the fender.

I will try to get a picture posted, In the mean time if you live in town, you might see us driving around as I still drive it all the time. The miles you speek of on you trucks is really very low. I think you can expect many years of reliable service to come.

the ridgeline is a unibody so it is not a capable as a full framed truck and they don't have a real 4wd system the use all wheel drive and there is no low range but then again if you need 4-lo you are not going to be on paved or gravel roads chances are you will be deep in the woods or stuck in a mud pit

Can't believe more people haven't recommended the Ford Ranger, especially the 2.3 liter 4 cylinder....bulletproof. Had one of them and you can't kill it.

I can assure you this truck is easy to reconize, It is biege in color and honestly the best looking 84 in town. I did how ever mispeak when I said ther interior was perfect. I do have a hole in the floor mat. If I anyone knows where to find one let me know. This upholstery place found one but it was black I need brown.(I'm not talking about floor mats) Can I just pain it brown?
I do not know any one who is looking for a truck rigt now.
