Hi Scotty! I am looking for my first pick up truck on a budget of 10,000 to 15,000. Where should I start? I would like four wheel drive, and I am also leaning towards a midsized. Thanks.
Check out the Does Scotty think I should I should avoid or buy this car? page. I have compiled all of Scotty's videos on good and bad cars & trucks.
My first choice would be a Toyota Tacoma or Tundra if you can find one, but a Nissan Frontier would also be a good choice on a budget.
Also watch Scotty and Car Wizards videos on best trucks:

Of course there are years to avoid with the Nissan Frontier, specifically the mid 2000s:

The ones after that, until 2019, have a very old simple design and don't really have many problems. In your budget if you can find a Tacoma that would be what would last the longest.
