I need to ditch my POS comuter car and get a new daily driver. I want a truck so I can throw a few dirtbikes in the back tow the boat down to the lake, or mabye tow my K5, so I need a fullsize. I was looking into a 90s Chevy 4x4 but they're still expensive, and they had the same motors as the 87 up until 96 (I'm not paying 10K+ for TBI). Would a 94+ Ram be better? I'm starting to think about getting one of them because I drove a few and I liked it. They also have a solid axle (not going to lift it or wheel it hard, but less parts is always better), bigger motors, port injection, slightly higher tow rating and they're a little cheaper. I found a 96 for 8500 with 114K on it. It has all power accesories, cruise, bedliner, new trans 14K ago and its extended cab. Does that sound like a good price for that truck, or should I keep looking? What are some common problems with these trucks? Should I just hold on to my car for a few extra months and get a GM?
