I need an all around pickup truck for the farm. I will use it occasionally (maybe 1K miles/year, 20 mile segments) to pull a 12K lbs (max loaded) tandem dump trailer (3K empty). I want a 2WD (not dually) truck. The pocket book is not very deep, so I want a basic vehicle – but something that will last and can be abused some on the farm. I farm part time, I have a full time job to pay the bills – so I will need to drive this truck to/from work (30 miles, city driving) five days/week. My past trucks have been Ford Ranger and F-150. The F-150 is okay, until you have to work on the engine – changing plugs is a nightmare. Anyone have any suggestions about which trucks to look at? For 1K miles per year, is it worth getting a towing package? Russ
