I'm looking for a small pick up truck that's either a Ford Ranger or a Nissan Frontier with an automatic transmission. I would get a Tacoma, but I don't have that kind of money. My budget is $5000. Trying to buy this from a private party. What years should I avoid with these vehicles? What years should I consider? What should I look be looking for to avoid getting ripped off when I go shopping around for one? I greatly appreciate your help, and I know these aren't very specific questions I'm asking. Thank you!
Are you looking for a older pickup?
Frontier and Ranger are decent pickup trucks. Watch Car Wizard's "Midsize truck to buy not to buy" video on Youtube and he will tell you the variants to avoid. This is discussed many times a month so use the search bar to find previous opinions on those trucks;
Matt, I am looking for an older truck, like mid 2000's would be ideal.
