Question What a deal?

I'm looking at purchasing a "new" truck. Its a 94 extracab flairside, 4x4, I-6, 5speed, dual tanks. Body is still pretty solid,very minor rust and not much at that either, its red. Good interior, red also, wow it matches and everything. I am not sure of the gear ratio. I would like to pull my 77 Bronco on a trailer behind it, maybe 5000-6000lbs or so. Its on a car lot hes asking $6500, could talk to him down some? What do we think. Would I be able to pull my rig with this ok. How about the price? Any input would be great. Thanx

That truck probable has a 3.55 or higher rearend ratio. The weak link is tha mazda trans for towing. If I am not mistakin that truck is only rated to tow 3100 lbs if it does have 3.55. An auto trans would pull 5000 but you should still have trailer brakes.

6500 sounds kind of high. go on edmunds.com and price out the truck. if it is lower print it out and use it to talk the price down.
