I need to get a used vehicle and I need your opinion. I'm looking at a used truck or a used suv, something cheap just to get around when needed. I'm torn between what to get, a truck I can do a lot with it as most know I like to buy and sell things so its easier to get stuff, but An suv is more comfortable .
What ever I get Hunter( My 15 year old) will be driving it soon as he will be taking drivers ed shortly. I have always been a truck guy but I wonder if a Suv would be better as he will driving it.
SO ext cab 4x4 truck or a SUV. I leaning towards a truck as I have some things I need to do around the yard and the house so it would be helpful to be able to go to the store and get stuff, but then at the same time I have a messed up back and a bad leg so getting in and out isnt always fun or is the ride.
I'm looking at early 2000 Jeep grand cherokee, Ford Expedition, or full size ext cab trucks. I'm afraid if I get a truck I might end up doing more then I should and my body will pay the price, but I'm also worried I f i get a Suv I will be limited on being able to pick stuff up and will have to rent a trailer or have to find a friend with a truck if I ever need to pick something up.
Then the issue of price comes into play, for what I want to spend I can find a decent condition suv and there are more of them at my price point, trucks on the other hand are slim pickings and are usually beat up pretty good.
It will serve me for a year or so and then I will get something newer and give what ever I get to my kid.
Thanks
