with the eventual move I'm forced to make to TEXAS , Ill want to purchase a reasonably new, or new truck,
it as far as I'm concerned must have a couple mandatory features
among them, I feel are mandatory
true 4x4 drive, where all 4 wheels apply power to the road in 4x4 mode
decent size wheel wells that allow larger tires sizes
ID prefer to NOT have to raise the frame/suspension from factory stock
a 4 door crew cab (step up foot bar a plus) allowing old geezer access,
at least 8"-10" ground clearance
8 foot bed
a built in rear view, dash mounted tv/screen camera
large side mirrors
a v8 engine/ gas or diesel
over drive transmission
air conditioning/ wifi compatible is nice
towing package/ trans fluid & oil coolers
GPS location software and blue tooth phone, on the dash screen
keep in mind I have not looked at any newer trucks in 10-12 years,
and yeah I'm still in sticker shock looking at adds even before I look at trucks..
I don't want some mini truck, but I don't want a MONSTER TRUCK, either
thinking GMC,CHEVY ,FORD
but I might be persuaded to look at DODGE, NISSAN, TOYOTAS,
or other options you guys might suggest?
your thoughts on the better options in a new truck? (brand, year, model ETC?)
