Good luck finding a Comanche in actual good shape for under $10k
There’s a Jeep Comanche with 15,xxx miles, only RWD and theyre selling it for 25K. Crazy.
@@atmartens i absolutely love comanches but i hate that people do things like that and treat them like extreme collector cars
@@atmartens The black one at Collins Bros (there are only 3 on Autotrader...)?
They're unreliable hunks of crap too, expect to dump as much or more than you paid for the thing just in repairs
Damn it I had a chance too buy one 15 years ago and it it was a 4x4 with zero rust!
Every time a CZcams channel posts a video like this the $ goes up. STOP
Well at least Ranger prices should still be reasonable, considering that it wasn't mentioned.
Exactly lol
Yuup u guy's drive the prices up too many followers in the world they don't make them like they used too back in the 80s and 90s we never followed anyone everyone would just do what the other didn't nowadays everyone wants what everyone sees 😉
My F150 Flareside is looking good, probably could get more than I paid for. 😊
They should rename this channel "Effeminate guys with speech impediments interfere with truck prices."
Number 1 will always have the mighty Ford 300. This engine was used in just about everything industrial generators, (what it was specifically designed for) backhoes, forklifts, farm tractors, Harlan trucks (used to move air planes and luggage around air ports) etc. Had the longest vehicle production run 1965-1996. The first gas million mile engine, they don’t like to die no matter how much they are neglected, and will run on just 1 cylinder. And are still being used in various industrial equipment today. Nothing more reliable out there.
Checker cab was in production longer. F-150 has been in production since 1948 continuously. As for the first million mile gas engine--the honor goes to a Mercedes built for the 3rd Reich
I agree
Good ol tractor engine for just said "fuck it its in tractors why not trucks?"
@@ryancollins3227 actually it was designed for industrial generators. Generators require low end torque to get them turning and keep em turning efficiently. Tractors and trucks and everything else came later.
The 300 Inline 6 was one of the most solid engines ever built, hands down. Good reliable power, a little thirsty, but what do you expect when you have 6 50 cubic inch cylinders. I fully agree there, and there is so much potential for power in them too.
I honestly think that all OBS Ford Trucks would be great to pick up. From the 300 inline 6, to the 460 big block, and both the 7.3L IDI, and Powerstroke, they had some of the greatest engines available. Mix that with their strong, yet simple chassis, and they really are a long lasting , and soon to be collectable truck in my direct opinion.
7.5 has been the best least one to maintain and reliable
7.3 was ok,little more work
5.8 worst engine I’ve had so far
@@albertoacosta6788 I have personally had all of the engine options for an OBS aside from the Powerstroke, the 460 isn't as easy to find big power parts for anymore, but neither is the 300 inline. The 7.3L IDI is a dream to work on, super simple, but, you gotta know where to look for parts as well. The Windsor blocks, 351, and 302, are really easy to get parts for, including performance parts, but the 302 in my experience is a little lack luster when it comes to power for those trucks, and unless you do some work, they tend to blow heads
Anything with the Twin-I-Beam front suspension.
You didn’t include the older Ford Ranger! They can be had cheaper than $10 k and with the 4.0 they are virtually bulletproof. By the 90’s to early 2000’s the Ranger was one of the best selling small trucks in America.
Shoot, any Ranger can be had for a reasonably cheap price up to ~2005. They built so many of them, and they're really not sought after all that much.
Agreed!!! They've never covered the 2nd or 3rd gen rangers. They're great little trucks and can easily be had for even $5k in a 4x4 configuration. They're starting to creep up tho especially with low miles.
My dad had one with the 4.0. It was a very reliable truck. Towed well for it's size. The only issue he had was with vacuum lines and I think it was previous owner weirdness.
Unpopular opinion: the only thing worse than a Ranger/Mazda is a Mitsubishi Mighty Max. Around my area they are very cheap and for good reason. Would rather own a Hardbody, S10, or Dakota.
@@CT-Dana I'll agree that a base rwd, 4cyl ranger is worse than a base model s10, hard body, or Dakota. However when it comes to the 4.0L 4x4, that is a way better truck than the other ones mentioned, even when compared to they're higher trims.
I bought a 1996 Bronco 4 years ago and am glad I did. LOVE IT!
Love my ‘95 F150, short bed, 4x4. Take that over anything new.
Super thumbs up for the subi baja. Had one in Colorado for 6 years and it was an outstanding vehicle and super fun to drive (with manual transmission). Took it camping many many times and braved many many blizzards thru the mountains with zero issues. Super comfortable for road trips and overall decent fuel econ. Sold it with 130k miles on it and mechanically it was still in excellent shape. Brakes and fluids is all it ever required.
Super underrated 👌
in 2000 i bought a 90 ford ranger.4.0 with a4ld auto trans for 3k$.is still my daily driver with 200k miles.other than regular maintence,i had to replace leaking intake gaskets,pushrods & rocker arms.very affordable & capable little truck that last a long time with proper maintenence.made back when ford actually cared about quality & reliability.nowdays fords motto should be profit is job 1.
Got super lucky and picked up an 05 F150 for $6500 only 108k on it. Might not seem like much of anything to most folks but it was a blessing!
1997 was the last year for a real Ford truck. I have a 1968 F-250. Standard cab 2 door, bench seat, 2 wheel drive, 8 foot bed, 390/C6, Dana 60 Trak-Lok rear axle. Twin-I-Beam front suspension. It's a tank. I hope that '05 doesn't have the 5.4L 3 valve Triton engine in it. If it does, plan on replacing it in the very near future.
I really appreciate the 460 shoutout, many people get so absorbed by the 7.3 and 454 they seem to forget about the 460 which was one of the greatest truck engines of all time.
We had a 99 GMC single cab 4x4 with a 454 and a 96 F350 crew cab long bed with a 460 and they both were pretty similar except the 454 had better pulling power
This 460 comment is brought to you by the Gas Station Owners Association. At 8-11 MPG you will get to know us very well and with dual tanks. You will send everyone of their kids to college.
@@chrisb8289 I remember pulling my horse trailer with that 460 truck and I swear I saw the gas needle move lol the 454 did pretty good on fuel mileage
I haven't ever seen a Decent 2nd gen dodge for 10k lol
Dont think it exists tbh. Lmao
That's because they weren't decent when they were new
Ahhhh, Dodge Dakota. Had one for 17 years, such a great truck. And with the 5.2L V8 in it, I was hauling as much as a newer half-ton most of the time haha!
Yes my 1997 Dakota 5.2 L manual was so much fun to drive .I drove it for 20 years and 212,00 miles I gave it to my son.The only problem I had with it was the paint fading but that was it.
Subaru Brat was a fun little truck to drive. Drove a late 70’s back in 1980 as a company vehicle and it stood up to all the abuse an 18 year old could give it. Had a good 4wd system too.
Tommy, Coming from a Baja owner, Skip the Baja in 2 years, most are dying from the Rust/cancer on the unibody and Sub-frames now with parts drying up. they're just hitting that "Few sold, Fewer survived" mark. Why they were sought after was simple: AWD, 3-5 to 4" bed, and the worse configuration could still get 24 mpg!
You guys are really cool. Your appreciation and detailed, articulate, and studied reasoning to the quality of older vehicles is so appreciated. thank you for your videos!!!
Great video keep it up Case and Tommy ! The full-sized Jeep pick-up trucks from the 70s to 80s were cool . I owned one of these back in the early 90s , strong as a bull and reliable as hell .
I own a 1997 toyota t100, beautiful truck, and having the 5VZ-FE 3.4L engine, super durable truck. I was lucky with this. 165K on the clock, no frame rust and mechanically sound besides the charcoal canister needing a clean all for $2400 on the spot. That truck is my baby. I wish more people would talk about the t100 more, because that was technically the first Tundra. Great history on it.
We’ll taken care of, the 2nd gen dakotas are amazing trucks! My 02 Durango, based on that truck, has 211k on its 360, and I’d still drive it cross country
Just take a gas station with you.
I had a 86 GMC Jimmy 4x4 it had a 2.8 L V6. Son that thing went everywhere
I bought an 05 Dakota last year for $3500. It’s taken a lot of work to overcome some neglected maintenance & repair but I really like it. With the V8 it really hits the sweet spot between size & power between a mid-size and full-size pickup.
My dad bought a new 1995 Dakota..
A couple of years back, he gave it to me..
I've owned a few trucks, (Toyota, Ford etc) and loved them all. The Dakota is on a different level.. Nothing compares.. If I had known back in 1995 how amazing the Dakota is, I would have bought one new..
There’s always talk of binging back the Dakota, but with current truck prices it would be over $40k. If I had that kind of cash I wouldn’t be driving a 16 year old truck😂
Couldn't imagine how much I would love a New Dakota with a 392 V-8..
I'm just hoping they put that 392 V-8 in a 2-Door Jeep Wrangler..
@@skibootdier9488 Dakota didn't have a 392 V8 in them, when they first came out they had a 4 cylinder and they didn't have a 4X4 which came out a little later, and then they had put the great 318 V8, and then they even came out with a V6 and a 360 in them and WOW could they run, I bought a new 2002 extended cab 3.9 V6 4X4 Dodge Dakota and I still have that Dakota today and haven't replaced any thing but the starter and batteries of course just the regular maintenance and change oil and wix filter every 3,000 miles and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it to the east or the west coast or anywhere, and it's our daily driver, all I own is Mopars, a 53, 54, 64, 69, 76 1ton, 81 4x4 3/4 ton, 94 4x4 1ton Cummings, plus my 02 4x4 and I would love to have an ole power wagon
Y'all made the Subaru Baja #1 but couldn't even find a spot for the Ford Ranger. Smh 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
You guys totally forgot the Ford Ranger. It was the best selling compact pickup truck in the U.S. for a long time. I love my 2004.
That's because the 3rd gen and up aren't classic trucks, they are just old, a classic truck is any generation that was last built 25 years ago or more. The 1st and 2nd gen Rangers weren;t very good trucks overall.
The list is Trucks that they feel will be valuable down the road or have become.
You forget the VW Rabbit pickup with the diesel motor. 50+ MPG and 0-60 in 3 days.
Reliable boi?
@@nelsonkoentadi2505 Old Volkswagen Diesel are nearly undestroyable. Some Versions of that Engine are used still today running on GAS (Not Petrol) in the Industry like Forklifts/Aircompressors or Generators . I even saw Motorised Driveable Stairs for Passangerplanes use that Engine.
@@Hotpack7279 ahhh really? Ok
@@Hotpack7279 time to sell my 1 of my Yoda for the rabbit
F-150 with 302, 351 or 4.6 any year...
I have a 93 toyota 4Runner 4x4 pickup > standard cab. Stroked and built 22re. Original price (used) 4 grand. I LOVE this truck! It will go anywhere drives great and can even keep up with 80mph speed limits in the Texas hillcountry! Geting 23 mgp... Currently doing a paint job and all new upgraded interior. Usin CARC military paints in a desert cammo....So, to each his own I say....
Yessss! I love my Dodge Dakota, 1994-1996 are the best in my OP you can get multiport fuel injection, first truck with driver airbag too but the stout setup is single cab shortbed 4x4 5.2 5 speed manual, muscle truck baby! Factory 6-7 second 0-60 weighs around 3500-4000lbs and not to mention the 1st gen dakota wasnt crash tested but the bodys on them are stout very strong, if you find a 1st gen dakota vs other trucks even full size you can feel the 1st gen dakotas body is tough. I have owned 94 ext cab 5.2 5 speed and 96 ext cab 5.2 5 speed on 2500 ram axles and it did great with 3/4 ton axles or stock form, now i have 96 single cab shortbed 112” wheelbase 4x4 with 5.2 318 and NV3500 5 speed manual, 4 low it will rip a house off the foundation lol or from stoplight you could hold your own against a mustang if you needed, these trucks will be sought after shortly!
nice, I have 3 of the 10 trucks. 2003 Tacoma 4 door 4x4 trd, 1987 nissan d21 manual v6, 1997 ford f350 crew cab 4x4 with the 7.3.
Wow that jeep comanche is a unicorn, never seen a short bed. Beautiful truck.
My dad bought new 1995 Dodge Dakota with a factory V-8. I love those trucks..
Fast and tough AF!!
2 quick (ish) ones.
My cousin bought a 1st gen Dakota 2wd and it had so much flex in the body & powertrain that every time he took a hard left (??) turn it would drop from drive to 2nd low! It turns out there was just so much twist it forced the linkage to shift the truck. He loved that truck, but it was ridden hard and put away wet!! He borrowed money to buy it and finally paid his loan off 1 year after he had to park it!! Haha. It was only a 3 year loan!! He still has it on his acreage with about 20 other Dodges/Rams that are really only good for parts. Good thing he is a good farmer and doesn’t treat his equipment like his trucks!!! Haha he has to pay for the trucks somehow!
A lady my wife knows had a Subaru Baja. It was purple if I remember right and she had sooooo many issues, including water leaking into the interior on wet road and when it rained or she washed it as well as mechanical issues with that vehicle!!! The dealership made it worth her while and sold her an Outback instead. She still has the Outback today. She takes such good care of it and it’s been bulletproof. Go figure.
Never owned a truck until just now. Bought a California 2000 Ford Ranger XLT V6 for $2500. Beautiful little truck. It’s become my daily driver. Just under 80,000 miles. Thinking of lowering it. Not too much but enough to reduce the clearance of the wheels. Nice channel, subscribed.
Tommy, I love the fact that your opinion is not based on what you think we all want to hear. Keeping it real. I’m sure others will agree.
I literally just finished replacing the power steering pump on my 2000 F250 7.3 and hour before watching this. Got it for $9k a year ago and since then I've had to replace the turbo and pedestal, rebuild the trans, new water pump yesterday and power steering pump today. Still needs some more. You might get one for cheap but you'll make up for the low selling price with tows, parts, and labor. I also own a 95 C1500. Greatest truck of all time
And I agree I had a 1991 F450 or F series service truck with the 7.5 big block 460 in it and it was a stick what a great truck it was I enjoyed it a lot. And now I have a bullnose 1986 ford truck with a swapped 7.3 IDI diesel in it and a service body and I picked it up for $2500 and it’s also a stick and I love it, yeah the truck market is expensive these days.
Building a 429/460 based ‘97 F350 4x4 CC with 1500 daily driver HP and it is small cu in vs what they can be built to. Hoping to get it to SEMA 2022. 10k would only get one a short ride in it..
These guys basically naming every truck in existence and encouraging people to think they have something special inflating the truck market 😂
Really enjoyed this video. I’m old enough to remember each of these when they were new! For the most part, I understand the appeal of each of these classics. But how about examining the utilitarian value of the old classic truck? In other words, if you can get an appealing classic for $10,000, and it is also a useful truck, how much more truck can you buy with the same money if you just go for the best one available….that might be a 10 year old F150, or something like that.
I can tell you guys are young. I hated those early 90s Chevy interiors! I was selling them went the 1995 updated interiors came out and they were so much better and I still like them way better than the odd 1988-1994 ones.
9:56 I bought my '99 Dakota in March of '17. I paid $5700 cash for it. It's worth about $8000 or maybe more in today's market. Granted, I did have to spend some money on it and get a few things fixed.
I bought my '02 in '15 for $2600 sold it earlier this year for $2300
10k for a 300,000 mile 7.3 is very reasonable. Considering they will just go up and up in price. I have an ‘01 and a ‘02. My ‘01 7.3 has 159,000km (from Canada) I get offers every week, lowest offer was 20k and I’ve even turned down a 35K offer.
Hahaaaaa. I bought a brand new BAJA turbo in 06. Loved that little race car. Had to sell it because my kids complained about cramped back seat! Wish I still had it.
Most of your choices were right on. My favorites are the 2 Subaru's and the Jeep Comanche. Classic !
I bought my 1st gen Dakota 3.9L V6 (88) for about 1.7k, done quite a bit of work to it these past couple of years, but hell its still solid and pulls strong. Got a TON planned for this thing
My daily is a 79 f150, 4x4, straight 6, manual, 33in BFG. Nothing else I'd want.
I had a 91 Jeep Comanche truck, put 300K hard farming miles on it, and still ran strong. Wish I still had it, best truck I ever owned, I'd buy another one.
I loved the Subaru Baja! Especially in yellow. Always thought it was such a cool car.
I was lucky to find a very clean 2006 Chevy Silverado single cab long bed 4x4 with a 4.3 V6 for $7K back in March with around 170K miles. Today, I'm not seeing any similar trucks in my area for under $12K.
Got the Dodge 2500 1998.5 24 valve version, original transmission. Purchased new. It has hauled a 3 horse living quarters trailer all over the place. Still going strong. Did replace injector pump a few years ago for performance and sacrificed a bit of mpg. With a new replacement in the 60k plus range no way would I sell it for 10k.
I have the 2003 Baja in the color you showed yellow great little truck . Gets a lot of looks and complements.
Had a first Gen Dakota, '92 model with the 239ci / 3.9L V6 and AX-15 transmission, loved it. Only two issues with them sadly is Rust and lack of parts 😔, dealership support for 1st generation ended in 2010. BTW, replaced mine in 2010 with a 2004 Subaru Baja, still driving it for work around WVU-TECH, at over 413k original miles, but parts are now starting to be discontinued.
Last year picked up a 2001 GMC HD, 4x4 with 123,000 miles on it for 2,300$.... The kid that had it was moving to Colorado and didn't want to take it with him and I offered him cash for it.... It was a steal, he had $1,000 worth of tires on it
The doors forward on the Comanche is the same as the 4 door Cherokee. I had a '89 Cherokee that had the front passenger door replaced and we used a door from a Comanche.
Every V6/V8 Toyota. Especially the ones with the 1GR-FE, 2UZ-FE, 1UZ-FE, 3GR-FE, and the 1UR-FE. Those engines just don't break, no matter how hard you try.
My buddy has a 2001 diesel ram with the manual transmission. He bought it new and is still his daily driver. Never had any problems
Just sold 2k, a very clean first year regular cab long bed Dakota 2wd, made in 86 sold as 87. V6 5 speed. Not many long beds. would look great lowered though they are pretty low as is. Rode like a big Cadillac. White with red interior.
I bought a 2000 Ford F-250 extended cab with the 7.3 and a manual transmission for $9,000. Really nice truck with 300,000 miles and no problems at all.
Have a 2000 Ford F-250 extended cab off road, with the 73 turbo diesel automatic. Garage cept with a few minor dings and no rust, 44,000 original miles. Any idea what it should go for.
One major fact with 1994 and older trucks that is huge is Toyota changed in 1995 to a steering rack mounted behind the suspension. 1994 and older were equipped with a recirculating ball power steering box just like Chevys, Fords and Dodge. The weak steering racks are inline with the suspension to get damaged easily if the wheel hits a rock or a curb. it blows up the rack and a tow is needed. A similar impact on an older model may bend the tie rod or the steering arm area of the knuckle but your still rolling.
Toyota frame rust is something to look for.
I bought a 93 f150 new in 93 (300, 5 speed manual) for 12k. My son has it now w/over 260K miles, still going strong. Last year I saw a 96 (300 w/auto tranny, 7000 lb capacity per the vin) for sale on facebook by a small time dealer in Orangeburg SC.(he bought it at a local auction) Perfect body, no rust, great tires, smooth running and everything worked including A/C. Somebody really took care of this thing. He was asking $2500. What? 2500? Are you kidding? I test drove it and the next day went back and peeled off $2500 cash. Would I take 8K for it today? Probably not. Best deal I ever came across.
95 7.3 power stroke. 56,000 miles when I bought. 358,000 when I sold it. Only had to replace an alternator, clutch, and right before i sold, an engine harness. Ran like a Swiss watch, and is still on the road today with over 550,000 miles on it.
Where's the 3rd gen Ford Ranger?? it's cheap and they work great
Jeep had a good thang going with the Comanche pick-up, looks better than the Cherokee and the current Wrangler Gladiator
Miss mine. 88 and 89 Chemache sold for cheap🙄
anything looks better then a gladiator lets be honest
J-10 with 4.2 i6
I'm a bit of a purist but I also absolutely love the comanche with the updated late 90s cherokee front ends. If I had two or maybe one that was never going to be more than a beater I'd do that swap.
Not much of a truck guy . . . but, I had two Brats I used in the winter and off-road and an El Camino that was my tricked out travel car.
I had a 2nd gen Dakota. My wife totalled it when it was 2 years old.
I'm seriously surprised the GMT800 didn't make the list. I've seen pre AFM 5.3 V8s make over 400,000 miles! 1999-2006 was a dependable GM truck.
#10 is one I would like to own. ...A mint early one with a manual transmission.
Well done guys
Keep it rollin......
My grandpa had a navy blue 454 up until i was like hight school.
We use to go everywhere in that thing....
I’d say an equally eccentric (and fugly) competitor to the Baja would be the Avalanche 2500. Based in the 3/4 ton Suburban but with the transfiguration bed/cab configuration. I detested these things when they were new, but now have grown an appreciation for them. 8.1 motor is solid too. We had a 2500 Burb of that generation and it was such a good rig and overlooked still today too.
@Kristian Saile. What, you say there was a 2500 Avalanche platform. Im looking into that for sure. I always thought those Avalanches were kinda interesting personally. One might look good sitting next to my 1994 Chevy Suburban K2500 6.5 Diesel.
I have a 04 White Avalanche 5.3 4x4 leather sunroof loaded for 6000 4 years ago
I have 2 first Gen dodge trucks. One is a 87 318 D150, the other is an 86 W150 with a 360. They are awesome trucks and you can find them under 10k all day long. I got my 87 for $250!
I have a 92 Ford Ranger w the 4 liter V6 that’s Rust Free w 300k on it & I drive it everyday👍🇺🇸🤓
The GM GMT400 is a very solid truck. I worked at GM Truck at bus when they were being designed, also known internally as the CK87 as they were intended to be produced in 1987. The 2nd gen Ram is a good looking truck. Doesn't the new Ford Maverick have a unit-frame similar to the Comanche as does the Honda Ridgeline? The Dakota is a nice truck, the Tacoma took over that segment because they were bulletproof but the Dakota is not trouble prone and it has a V8 option. It is easier to find an affordable D21 than the same era Toyota truck. The Ford Ranger should be one this list!
My dad bought a 1966 Ford with a 352 camper special.he sold it to family.almost everyone in our family owned it until it was finally parked with 360. miles in 1981.he bought the 81 new and it was junk
You guys do a great job together! Thanks for the great reviews.
I was gonna buy a ‘04 Diesel Ford F-250 in 2004 for $32K… I just ordered a 2022 Power Wagon in June for $67K… Damn Trucks have gotten Stupid Expensive!!😭🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ My Grandfather Had a ‘72 Ford Ranger XLT up until He Passed Away in 2010..👍🏻
I used to have the Toy BRAT in ‘78 as a Kid… Loved it and always wanted a Real one..😂
All hardbody-era pathfinders are V6's. Hardbody pickups with the 4cyl are wonderful. Small, light, nimble, and great MPGs, bulletproof.
We have a 1986 jeep comanche rust free my dad bought a werked jeep Cherokee and took the 4wd trans and the v6 still runs great with 250k miles
The Baja is one of those vehicles that was underappreciated when new that is now suddenly appreciated
There's one in the parking lot at work every day. As far as appreciating it, I'm not there yet... ;-)
Oh boy. If I could get any one of these (apart from the Subaru 🤣) for 10k or less down under I'd be in heaven. That 1st gen Cummins 😍
Brother in law had a couple wreckers with the 6.0 Powerstroke. Not terrible but they spent a hell of a lot more time in the shop for issues than than the Internationals and the 7.3L Powerstrokes
The 6.0L Powerstroke is a great engine after you drop $10k + in “ bulletproofing “ it…..
Its true, sad but true. After bp they are 800k+ trucks you can save a good 5-8k if you do the work yourself, especially of you know what youre doing
I've got a 1986 ford f150. Completely all original 140000 miles. 2wd 302 fi. New 5 spd clutch drive shaft. Very little rust. Garage kept. Very solid driven semi daily. Any ideas how much it's worth
I have a first gen dakota I bought for 2500, truck honestly runs well. Has the V8 in it, but damn parts are hard to find. Might I add it is also 2wd..
My dad had a comanche it was a fun little truck, but his had a 4cyl and a I think 4spd manual. It was not able to keep up on the highways.
You guys didn’t include the first GEN Toyota tundra neither a Chevy S 10? Both are fantastic trucks
Yeah my 37k mile 03 s10 has doubled in value in 2 years
They didn't cover the old rangers either
Always wanted and still looking for a Jeep Comanche that doesn't cost more than a kidney and or isn't all rotted out. Hopefully someday soon.
I have a 95 dakota 3.9 132k 2wd paid $1100. Runs like a champ.
Love it ❤
Any 72-93 Dodge D series truck, ideally the 72-80 versions, or "better yet" the 72-78 "birdbath" hood versions. Those early ones were simple, reliable, and easy to work on, but don't have anything close to the same aftermarket support for "repop" body and trim parts that the older Chevy and Ford trucks of that period do.
That’s the biggest drawback is the aftermarket.
I owned a BRAT, with the jump seats and all! In my opinion, any older Ford or Chevy with a single cab and an 8-foot bed is going to skyrocket if it hasn’t already.
I have a 2nd gen Ram 1500 5mt, 5.9l V8, reg cab long bed, she doesn't have any rust and I've gotten a few offers to buy her off me, bc trucks like it are going up in price so fast
When I was growing up in the 90s my step dad had a Subaru Brat.
I have a 1984 Dodge d100 prospector you guys are never going to believe how much I got it for I got it for $100 cuz of good friend of mine his wife bought him an F-150 and she wanted it off their property so he sold it to me for $100 all I had to do was fix the exhaust and do some cardboard and I tell you right now the thing is a beast I call it the Mastodon because it's so big and it is never ever left me straighted with lock out hubs and four-wheel drive I've had the truck for about 11 years it's not going to win any ribbons at a car show but I don't care I'm telling you I've done pretty much everything in it from going hunting hauling wood I've even camped in it and I have to say back in the '80s Dodge really knew how to build a solid truck when I bought it it had 143,000 miles on it and today it's pushing 330,000 miles I probably had a dozen people ask me if they could buy it off me but I'm not selling
There's plenty of sub 10k 7.3s that are super clean on the east coast
What’s your take on the 1985 Ford Ranger 2.8L or 2.9L V6 4x4? Are they good off road trucks?
I want the turbo hood off that baja for my legacy wagon lol.
Bought a 1991 Jeep Comanche eliminator for $1200. Best vehicle I've ever owned.
The S10 should have made the list. The 1987 Chevy S10 extended cab 4x4 that I used to have was really fun off road. A turd on pavement, but the 2.8 seemed to like being in 4 wheel drive.
My second vehicle was an 1980 BRAT. Great little vehicle
