If it were a matter of "fly and drive" I'd work hard to find something from the South or South West and get one from there.

The amount of rust etc. associated with East Coast (especially North East) trucks is, IMHO, something to be avoided.

I considered the 2wd, I'm glad I got the 4X4 I needed it already and nobody wants to push an X.

Both these Ex's have little issues that can be fixed.

Both of these are 15 mins from my house. If anyone is (seriously) interested I would be glad to give it a good once over for you. They have both been for sale for weeks

LOL, Google Translate has it as, "If you only had a couple of stuffed dice hanging from the rearview mirror ... I would be in that!"

saz2686 I appreciate the offer. I have been watching these 2 and others for weeks. I would have one in my driveway right now but I promised my16 year old son I would buy him a Ranger. So my desires have to wait for now. However I'm always looking.

I have found most online translators are far from perfectly accurate.

I didn't know you used one. I just figured you knew how to speak Spanish.

About half of the Ex's I have looked at so far have had no issues with rust or salt damage. Most of them are kept in garages and taken care of, at least around here.

New England trucks face a hard life.

I bought the X because it was cleaner than any SD I looked at for three times the $...Sold the "Trusty but rusty" V10 that I had for 12 years to the BroIL and was planning to go to AZ to find a rust free replacement.. Bought the X to get by and see if I can survive without the bed...So far so good
