which truck would you guys get?

Get an 88 Bronco…:thepimp:

I picked the S10, cause it has more power, but 2500 is cheap, and imports hold their value better.

My buddy has an S10 blazer, he got it for $1500 tho.

Its been decent for 4byin and such, but the suspension is slowly going. The engine has 330,000ks on it but its starting to sound like it needs a rebuild soon.

Either truck you go for is going to be good, just depends on what you want to use it for.

mazda, or a wrangler, or a solid front axle toyota 80-85 i believe

Also if its a 2.9L blazer don't get it.
If its a 4.3L standard GET IT!

i desperately need something cheap on gas **

i hear those deisel volkswagen golfs get something like 46 miles to the gallon. pick one of those up :P or may i suggest a '93 corrola

i'd actually take the mazda. i see a lot of them driving around and theres not a whole lot of rust on them, even tho they've been driven into the ground. the chevy really wont be great as a shuttle vehiclein my mind

HOTELS IN MEXICO

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! Stay away from an S10 anything. 4.3's are just as big a POS as any of the V6's btw…they just have more power….and use LOTS of gas for no reward.

The Mazda is a good truck….for 2500 though it should be in excellent condition.

It's funny to hear people say that the Mazdas are really reliable, because mine sure as heck isn't…..so where'd y'all get the good ones? Hook me up! But then I got it 2nd hand and only because I wanted a truck so bad, and I didn't want to get the hugearse GMC that was a piece and I couldn't find anything else. So I got my Lil' Dude. I'll keep it till I'm done school, then I'm either financing a Ram 1500 or a Durango. I won't get another Mazda ever again..basically because Ford took over the company! But whichever one you choose…good luck with it:) Make sure you have a good mechanic!!:)

Mazda..hand's down the winner

I never met a Mazda I didn't like.

westcoastcutie……..ya, some used vehicles have been BEAT TO SHIT and abused/never maintained. Maybe you got a bad one there.
You're planning on going new next time? Be sure to check ALL the reviews and reports on all the manufacturers and the specific models. Take those reviews with a grain of salt…..BUT when 7 or 8 out of ten "pro's" say the same basic thing….believe it.
Dodge isn't that high up there. BUT, you can't go too far wrong with new vehicles these days…..it's the constant nitpicking little things that'll drive you nuts…and to the dealer every other week.

Just my .02……but I've been in the auto industry for 15yrs.

even being raised by a GM mechanic, im going to go with the mazda on this one. most older blazers are real shit boxes. not to mention you cant beat having a pickup:) but if you can find one with 4 wheel drive definatly buy it. my truck is 4x4 and i will never buy a truck without it. period.

yikes , with all the talk about the mazda being way better, the poll sure doesnt show it!

but i'll for sure take the mazda over the chev, i'm pretty stoked on it..

any other vehicles around the 3g price range, that i should consider? i dont think i'd get a bronco, we had one and it was way too tippy

thanks guys, keep it comin

Ya, I'd totally check it out. I wouldn't go like '03 new mainly because the whole front end of the Rams look more like the ford 250s and up so…..:( But ya. I'd go 2001 the year before they changed to the "new look". I'll check it out though. I have lots of guy friends…ok ok ok…a few guy friends that are down with the whole mechanic thing, and I'll look over every thing, every detail and research it till I'm happy enough to say yes and know that I've made a good decision. If I have any questions…you'll be getting a pm from me:)
