[QUOTE="Roy14, post: 3585850, member: 41855"] I know a couple guys who do part time work who would be more than capable of it, and fair. One of them might also buy it as is for the right price, he really enjoys fixing vehicles and telling his wife he plans on selling them. As for a replacement truck, a 2nd or 3rd Gen Cummins would be great, fantastic actually, but they are selling for very nearly double what they were a year and a half ago. Some unmolested low mileage 2nd Gen 6 speeds are selling for triple... let that sink in. It’s hard to beat an 03-07 GM 1500HD/2500 or 2500HD/3500HD 6.0 for cost of upkeep and longevity. Things will go wrong, they’re flawed and older like anything, but they’re usually cheaper to maintain and generally pretty reliable up past 250k miles. I have an 03 2500 4x4 with a salty 6.0 thats had several thousand in upgrades and preventative maintenance with 111,000 miles that I’d sell ya if you have a penchant for a reliable, daily driver sleeper that can still tow and work effectively. That’s not everybody’s cup of tea though. As for anything Lexus or Toyota, they’re not meant to be tow pigs but they are by far the best designed and most reliable passenger/ light towing vehicles available. [/QUOTE]
