1/2, 3/4, or 1 ton?
How old is too old? Guessing since your work is footing the bill they are putting some strict requirements on this purchase. |

I haven't gotten the particulars yet but I'm going to guess nothing more than 5 years old and not more than 60K mileage.

Try looking for the fleet/work truck versions rather than the passenger versions. If the 5yrs no more than 60K stipulation is indeed the fact, that's probably going to be your only bet.

A friend recently bought a dirt cheap Silverado that came from a dealership that buys from rental companies. It was a 2013 with about 30k mi on it. I guess people dont rent too many pickups. Might be worth looking for something like that.

Tundra SR5 4x4 double cab is available meeting your criteria. Very spacious interior and super reliable truck with good off road capability.

Submit your max amount to dealerships you would be surprised sometimes what they can work out when companies are buying trucks

Look on Cars.com you can put in your max mileage and max price. Seeing some 2016 / 17 F150's + lots of Rams in that price range / mileage.

How much cargo will you be hauling, how many people will routinely be in the truck, and how "offroad" are we talking (dirt road, dirt trail, no trail, etc.).

Quote HistoryQuoted: you will find a million answers to that question. My choice is GM or Ford....Ram seems to be getting a better and better rep these days though. Although this will be a company truck and will be maintained by them I don't want to get something that is in the shop constantly like my current work car. I am constantly swapping all of my gear from one car to another almost on a weekly basis. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'll be running two to four people daily. The bed will have a hard tonneau cover for the equipment. Nothing super heavy just expensive and will need to be secure. The off-roading will be dirt trails, dirts roads and farm land. 4 adults means you're going to want a crew cab with 4 legitimate doors and a real back seat. Sounds like a 1/2 ton is what you're looking for based on the payload requirement. In the last year I've rented MY 2018 Dodge, GM & Ford 4wd 1/2 ton trucks for 1 week each and logged 500-1500 miles in each of them. I'm 6'4" and I found all 3 to be comfortable and easy to drive. I've also rented a loaded 2018 Suburban and put ~500 miles on it - pretty nice ride IMO. I don't think you could go wrong with any of the "Big 3" brands. Try checking with some of the big corporate employers in your area that have fleet/pool cars to see if you can get one before they turn it on the lease or go directly to Element Fleet Management to see if you can buy directly from them. |

You can get a lot of options for that much money. That puts you in the 8-10 year old window to get something decent.
