Affordable(?) truck for the working man

Working man? There's a reason crew cabs are popular with contractors - protected lockable storage while leaving the bed open for supplies, air compressors, etc. At least Ford got that right with the Maverick.
So Frank's out again . Fuckin height requirements.
They don’t make telephone books anymore either…
What kind of work are you going to do in that mini electric yute?
The working man has been douche bagged out of the market.

Find a 2007-2013 Chevy Silverado, 5.3 liter, in great shape with low mileage. They are a few out there. With proper maintenance, they last forever.
Still waiting for the mass deportations to happen that will put all those pretty new, now slightly used SUVs and trucks paid for by your tax dollar into the market. Hopium.
They dont make one anymore.
No more vinyl floor mats, manual transmissions, manual transfer cases, or radio deletes.
The big 3 can eat a dick(die hard chevy guy)... i will buy a toyota...but they dont offer an 8' bed dually in thos country( thanks epa)

They do make them. You have to find a fleet dealer to find them on the lot.
But anyone can go order a brand new work truck trim. It'll come with vinyl seats, manual transfer case, and a basic radio with am/FM and Bluetooth.
But what they're going to stock and try and force you into are the $10k+ upgraded trim levels. Work truck to Denali actually doubles the cost of the truck. But douche canoes want Denali's and that's what the best profit margins are on.
No they don't. They have junk wiring harnesses and afm.
My dad just put his 13 up for sale rather than address the afm that needs to be deleted.
There's a huge reason I have 3500s only. No afm, and crew cab long boxes.
"Active fuel management"
Aka 4 and 6 cylinder mode.
They use oil and solenoids to special lifters to turn cylinders on and off.
They have a history of lifters getting stuck halfway and beating themselves to death while glitter bombing the rest of the engine.
Thanks. My brain wasn’t working. I was trying to figure it out. I hate everything is abbreviated.
My 20 Silverado had the lifters stick and eat the cam shaft. Luckily under warranty, smoked a black bear at about 80 one morning shortly after the lifters and etc were replaced so I no longer have that truck. Still in a Chevy though. 21 trail boss, I have the DFM disabled with a tuner so I hope it lasts for a while.
If they stuck a 4 cylinder gas motor in it, had a standard and long bed option, then it would sell like hotcakes.
Until then I’ll keep lol’ing at big trucks with 5 foot beds trying to load 2x4x8 lumber while I drive off in my faggot ass Camry with a trailer.

I actually hate the way they look, but a couple of my son’s friends, as well as our godson have the hybrid Maverick and love ‘em.
Great mileage and hauls all their work gear with ease. When they need more truck they usually borrow mine or my son’s and/or hook up a trailer! LoL

Wish Toyota would bring their $10k truck to the states. It’s ugly but I would buy one. I also believe you can get gas and diesel. 2WD and 4WD.
Mmm... they make their cheapest option, yes. We buy fleet vehicles at work, and even they're overly complicated, fragile crap.
Depends what you're spec is.
My work truck edition has a decent options list, but my main concern was rubber floor and floor shifted transfer case.
I'm ok with cruise, ac, power locks, etc.
We need no options. Monkey proof.
We got some POS RAM vans in recently. (probably because they were the cheapest, because no one's buying them)
Crap literally started falling off one of them on the second day.

Basic little truck w/ 4 wheel drive, 8 ft bed, and a little diesel motor that'll pull 5k ish. I'd be in.
