I am 16 and looking for my first truck. I only want spend about $1500. The truck has to have a good 4wd, manual transmission, and it needs to get at least 18 mpg. I'm wanting american made. Not sure if I should get a Dakota, Ranger, or s10 around the years of 1988-1992. It needs to be reliable as well because I drive about 50 miles a day for school. Winters can get pretty bad here so it needs to be able to go over snow and ice with ease. I also do a lot of hunting in every season. Rocks and hills need to be like a walk in the park.
I am willing to modify it a little if needed.
Thank you for your answers.
