.sa = bad driver!
So, since I'll be moving to Pennsylvania in a couple months, I've gotta look into a new vehicle. I foresee quite a bit of moving my stuff around in the first couple years, so I figure a compact pickup truck would be a good balance of hauling ability, fuel economy, and ease of parking.
So here are the requirements:
A couple friends of mine recommended looking at 4-cyl manual Chevy S-10s from the late 90s, but they're quite GM-biased, so I'd like to hear other opinions as well.
*grumble mumble* Relatives planting seeds into my mind of towing and road trips... *Blues Brothers scenes flying through my head*
NEW requirements:
Reliable (won't have a garage in which to work on it)Basic (see the above. The only feature I'd like is an AUX input on the stereo for long drives, but I could add that later)Cheap (I'm hoping for $2-3k, but I can afford $5k if it'll be worth it to get a more reliable truck)

NEW requirements:
- Full-size extended or crew cab truck (preferably extended)
- Reliable (won't have a garage in which to work on it)
- Comfortable highway cruiser
- Ability to tow 7000+ pounds
- Not-so-cheap ($8k looks to be the new budget)
