Used truck?

Hi there. I'm sure this question is asked here all the time so I'll apologize in advance If it irritates anyone. I'm looking for a used truck and only want to spend around $5,000. Are there decent tucks out there for that price or will they mostly be junkers?

Welcome to the FTE klrv

They can be found if your willing to invest the time to search

Also, quite a bit of this depends on what your intentions for a truck is
and your area.

My daughter got a pretty nice Chebby for 5K a year or so ago. That being said, it needed tires fairly soon and the brake lines were failing ( nasty little GM problem that they had for a while. ).

She's a lot smarter car buyer than I am. She gets a posse together and they really look them over. Her son is a mechanic ( fairly new), so he checks for obvious issues. They also spend a lot of time checking Kelly Blue Book and quizzing the seller.

Good Luck,
hj
