Thanks for the great information so far

I have been leaning more towards the Dodge since the very begining. I think I can afford one, just the one I was testing was about $4,000 over priced . The doors didn't seem to want to close all the way, and the door handle on the outside were way loose, does anyone if the is common on these older models? I might be able to afford a 1994 when the time comes around for me to get one, which still might be a while away...

Today I will try and test drive a Ford, and see how I like it...

If I had the money, I would rather buy a 606/616 Unimog , but for some reason prices start above my current price range for a truck
