Admittedly I haven't read through the entire thread, but have you ever heard of "Bed Bounce?"

That'sa good data.

Now I will probably watch it again but from first viewing, it seems the chevy has the "loosest" rear end over the bumps but the box on the toyota looks to be almost contacting the cab!

Buy something you feel is pretty, that way you will take care of it, and anything you take care of will last much longer.


(look at your SOHC4 for proof)

Best advice here.

Bad advice actually.

So just buy a "pretty" truck regardless of how many miles or how/if it runs?

I think not!

Find a make/model/year you like the look, design and features of and search for the best example of it you can afford.

The guy in the video said the toyota box was putting dents in the back of the cab....
