Buy as much truck as you can afford. When pulling a big horse trailer like that, you may pay a lot for gas, but you'll never say "I wish I had less power right now".

Thanks for the advice, Hair, I just looked at an '04, 3/4 ton,Chevvy, crew-cab four-door, long bed, 6 liter engine. It has fuel injection instead of a distributor. They are asking $20,000, financing reasonable. I am really tempted.

I don't think I would ever have trouble hauling with that critter.

They said they would throw in a ball hitch, the kind that welds to the frame instead of the bumper.

First time I ever bought a vehicle myself. I am asking all around for advice including here.

Only thing is it needs new tires all around, about $80 per tire. Any advice from y'all?
