I looked at all of my customers, and the vehicles they drive, along with the comments made on the vehicles, and came to one conclusion. If you want a good truck, buy an older one, with a gas engine. The further back you go, the better off you are as far as simplicity of repair goes. yes, you might sacrifice some of the luxury in the ride department, as an old truck will 'ride like a truck' but the rest can be easily overcome. Power steering now is not really any different than it was years ago, and A/C can be put on anything. Electric windows are nice, but manual windows are less prone to break. If you've got A/C, the windows aren't going to be used much anyways, so it's a minor thing anyways.
Personally I say buy an older, gas truck. Fix it up like you want it, and you'll enjoy it just as much, if not more, than you would a newer one
