I know this has probably been discussed before, but I was looking for recommendations based on my circumstances.
The only "must" at this point is that it must have 4WD. I will be taking some pretty rough roads, with lots of rocks and washboard, but I won't be scaling boulders or anything super extreme.
Originally I was set on a 8-9' camper, but I've taken another look at the 6.5'ers. They might work a little better with the rough roads, and I won't have to buy a full size truck. Are full size trucks good on rough roads? Seems like the wider wheelbase and extra weight might hinder it a bit.
I'm working with a limited budget (hopefully can get something for less than 8k...*hopefully*). The trucks I've seen in this price range all have 170,000 miles or so, which tempts me to buy an older diesel instead of a gasser. 170k on a diesel is basically a broken in diesel, whereas 170k on a gasser is near the end of its life.
Looking forward to hearing some suggestions. Thanks
