People are dumping them in record numbers due to gas prices.

Tell us more about how he intends to use it:

Regular Cab, Extended Cab, Crew Cab?

**Regular or Extended

If he tows a trailer: what is it like and how heavy at what speeds?

**May tow a trailer, but no more than 5000 lbs

Is it just a work truck, period, or will it be a daily driver / family vehicle?

**Work truck

How long will he own it? How many miles per year?

**Until it dies.

Primary use will be seasonal hualing of grapes by the ton. Typical run could be 400 miles round trip, several times a year.

thanks
