So which truck do I get?

<!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> here is the link to two different but very similar trucks. The only thing that worries me about one is the comment on the brown truck "good title but with repaired on it" i will have to call on that one to figure out what that is all about. tell me what you think.

Both are good looking trucks but I'm leaning toward the silver one myself.

See I like the brown truck but it doesn't look too clean and the good title but repaired has me thrown off a but. plus the thing attached to the dash is an issue as well. both a deal and very low miles

Yeah, I tried to enlarge the pic enough to try to see what that was on the dash but couldn't really tell. Maybe a mount for SAT radio? Did the silver have a good title? I like the color of the brown truck also, but thought the silver looked cleaner / better.

The silver one definately looked cleaner to me. However I would be leary of a tainted title. If for some reason you are not happy with the truck and want to get rid of it it may be hard, also if there is any warranty on it and the title is branded then you will have no warranty. I would get the vins and run an oaisis and see if a branded title shows up on either one. But I say the silver one is nicer too... I am not a long bed guy but its nice.

That would answer my question right there^^. I would have leaned toward the 07 due to the "commonized" 6.0L motor in it, but if it has been totaled, it would be a no go for me.
