[recycled sixtie]

I am a big fan of my 2008 Ford Ranger, single cab, regular box size. I bought it about five years ago for $7000 cdn. It has about 60k miles on it. No big issues. A leaky rear differential and that is about it. Toyota were a lot more money and older ones were rusting. My Ranger has a four cylinder and gets 30 mpg.

An F150 probably carries a bit more but is heavier on gas but don't know anything about them. Good luck on your search.

Cheers, Guy.
