Ok here is my 2 cents.
1. Look for a 1 ton truck. For Ford that is an F350 and Chevy is a 3500.
2. Buy a truck with a Diesel Engine. The reason is economy and power. (For ex: 7-8mpg for the gasser and 12-13mpg for the diesel)
3. A 4:10 rear in refers to the gear ratio. A 4:10 is great if you are going to be driving in a lot hills and Mountains. A 3:73 may be better for economy and flatlands. I have a 3:55 and it does just fine.
4. You can buy a longbed or shortbed truck. My shortbed truck fits in my garage so I like it. If you get a shortbed truck you need a special attachment for the hitch called a slider. The slider lets you manuever like a longbed when needed.
5. I see your from Texas and I have known a few people that have picked up some great deals on used diesels there. Texas is the place for used diesels.
Diesels such as mine can go 300000 or more without overhaul if you take care of them. I don't think a gasser will do that and still pull a Monty.
ok somebody elses turn
