[QUOTE="MyMonkey, post: 1461679, member: 3945"] Ok folks. I need to buy a cheap older truck and need some advice on which models to avoid etc. Would like it to be full sized and include 4wheel drive with a v8. Now, I have read extensively on the topic of Ford, Vs Dodge, vs Chevy/GMC. Aside from inherent brand bias is there really a difference in reliability for one that is Mid to late 90's with under 200,000 miles? It seems I see these for sale with well over 200,000 miles so I know they are capable of such feats. I just need to know if any others here have a reality based opinion on the reliability of the different trucks in this high mileage state and whether there is one brand with a clear advantage. Be it ease of repair, availability of parts or straight reliability. Also want to know how high the mileage can be. Is there a ceiling for these trucks I should stay under? Or can they go on forever given the appropriate maintenance. [/QUOTE]
