Nice truck!

Check out what Consumer Reports has to say. They have lists of Recommended and Used cars to avoid. Also check their reliability ratings.

I don't, but I agree with Trina about Consumer Reports. Also check out http://www.edmunds.com for great info on buying a vehicle.

Pam, are the prices better or worse in the US?

By Pamt on Sunday, April 11, 2004 - 11:36 pm:

Much better! A can't imagine paying almost $30,000 for a used truck...or even a used BMW. I don't know a lot about trucks, so I can't give you a typical price but I know it would be less than that.

Here's the other truck we are looking at:

Pam, don't forget that 30000 CAD works out to be about 22500 USD

I wouldn't go with a dodge. My husband has one and it has given him a lot of problems. He has a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 4 door extended bed. I feel safe in it and it drives great, but it has seen the shop a lot.
