Looking between late 80's to 2000 due to not wanting to spend more than $8K.
Should I only be looking at 6 cyl or are 4 cyl ok even with 150K miles?
What years should I avoid and what are common problems to look for.
Do I need to purchase a special tow bar or will a old fashion bar work?
correction...as long as the transfer case has a manually selectable neutral position it can be towed 4 down both auto and manual.
i'd be looking at a 6. my opinion is the 4's are vastly underpowered.
not sure what you mean by an "old fashioned" towbar. if by "old fashopned you mean an A-Frame towbar then yes, avoid those. they're very heavy. i'd be looking at a Blue Ox aluminum towbar.
