Help me pick between these three vehicles.

Master Of Puppets · 08-22-2007, 03:56 AM

Ok, I am pretty much hell-bent on getting a pickup. My three main choices are (in no particular order):

1. El Camino (dk if this is considered a truck or not. I wanna learn to soup it up and piss off the ricer cars. cons- no 4wd)

2. s10 pickup (probably like '00. 4wd, prolly easy to fix, can use it off road, not gigantic so i can't park it)

3. Silverado (probably like '94-98- usually last long, 4x4 for offroading, good for moving stuff around, last a LONG time with correct maintenance)

I live in N. Illinois near the WI border, so we do get a bit of snow.

get a Toyota Tacoma.

you can get small or not so small, and it will have 4WD and it will last a lifetime or two unless you get a lemon.

I agree that the Toyota pickups are fantastic for the money.

I'm looking for domestic stuff. =/ Those would be easier to work on, no?

I have a chevy s10 and it runs really well.

Plus adding a brand new set of chrome rims doesn't hurt either

Meh I go mudding occasionally its a 00

my dads 83 (I think, it was old) Toyota Pickup was easy as hell to work on bro. The only reason we got rid of it was the frame was rusting out and we couldn't fix it a third time. We welded steel plates and such onto it to keep it running. Engine was perfect when we sold it w/ 350k miles on it.

the newer toyota trucks are very nice!

I'm not crazy about trucks but if you do get a truck, it absolutely has to be really ****in big with hugely oversized tires
