Done. Bought the F150 mentioned above (actually a ‘97) for $4,000. Not issue-free but drives very well, looks nice from . . . 50 feet? or 10 ft with cataracts . . . and I don’t think I’ll bother to adress its issues, at least not until it’s proven itself to otherwise be a good truck.

The fold up trailer is cool. I don’t actually have a car with a tow hitch and connector . . . have never pulled a trailer . . . We are talking effete urban dweller here.
