New truck for etk
etk300ex:
Looking for a new truck for a camping rig. Will see minimal miles, no winters, and plan to keep for several years. Needs to be dependable and easy to work on/ get parts for. I often travel on shitty dirt roads +30 miles from anything with no cell service. Not married to any brands, I'm not really a fan of the look of super-duty's but I really like OBS Fords, but whatever fits the bill. Willing to travel South but NYS quarantine issues may impede that plan. My friend Brain is currently working near Memphis and travels back and forth every couple weeks.
-3/4 or 1 ton SRW
-Gas
-4x4, manual hubs & t-case preferred
-Crew cab, would consider regular 4-door
-Flatbed preferred, minimum 8' box
-No rust
-150kish miles
-I'd like to spend $7-8k, would go up to 10 for the right unit

crew cab 8' box will be a monster. get it from Memphis or somewhere between here and there. don't even shop here. seriously.
my 2007 Ram just now is starting to look like a NY truck with rust on things in places.
mr.mindless:
If you want old and simple I'd go Ford. You'll very much pay at the pump though. 10-12mpg likely for anything like that, not the 16-18 that something 2010 and up would do.
highway department or milatary retiree is where most of those SRW 8' crew cabs seem to come from. base trim level double bench seat sweetness.

Like this, but a gas job
