    I'm looking for my first truck what should I get. Not going to tow much and don't need a-lot of cab room. Has to be automatic. Around $10,000 any year i should watch out for. Preferably 4x4

    welcome and looks like you answered your own question. Jump in the 1st gen section and ask away about that truck. Also check the for sale section.

    Thanks for the tips. I'm guessing the price isn't to bad since there is no one like Holy Hell are you serious. Going to go look at it 2maro. I'll let you know how it goes.
