Hey all, looks like the family will be adding another truck to the fleet, as grandpa is looking for a new farm truck to beat up. All of the trucks he's come across in his price range range from 1997-2000. I'll post the 3 he's been looking at the hardest below, I need to know which will be the most reliable without factoring in mileage
1. 1997 Silverado 1500, 5.7L Vortec, Z71 4x4 Extended Cab, 4L60-E transmission (I Think)
2. 1997 F150, 5.4L V8, 4x4 Extended Cab, 4R70W Transmission
3. 1998 Ram 1500, either 5.9L or 5.2L, not sure, 4x4 Extended Cab, 46RH-RE Transmission
Basically he will use the truck as a DD to and from town, and also for light hauling around the farm. Only towing will be a few mowers so I'm guessing any of these trucks would be fine for that. Also all of the trucks are listed at $3500 or below, per his budget. Thanks guys!
