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.
