Wanting to buy a "newer" truck.
What I have now: '94 Chev. full size 6' bed, 4X4, K2500, 5.7L V8. Only 146k miles.
Lance Lite 8'6" cabover, external shower. 1822 lbs wet. Dual canoe trailer 700lbs TOTAL weight.
Wife wants to buy a newer truck and a larger camper, and I kinda do too...We'd both like a slightly larger camper.
Can't decide what truck, what bed length. We sure see a lot of those 4 door full size trucks, but we don't need 4 doors for 2-3 people. We don't think we need an 8' bed for the cabover, might be wrong about that...
A 4 door truck with an 8 foot bed is awful large. Don't think we need dually wheels, correct me if I'm wrong. Perhaps a slightly larger gas engine, don't need larger if diesel. We both favor a gas engine due to cost and our low mileage. She wants an AT for ease backing up. We'd like to spend around 25k for the truck.
Anyone have any input on truck make/model, what to look for ?
