Buying a Truck

Toyota Tacoma parts

For a long time now my husband and I have been talking about buying a truck for a second vehicle if we ever get a chance.  We have a lot of reasons to need one, maybe not as a daily driver but hey, I work from home so that shouldn’t be an issue.

We really do need a truck, though.  For instance, I really like antique furniture, so we frequently have to ask a friend with a truck to help us haul something we’ve bought.  And since I sometimes sell at doll and antique shows, having a truck to haul everything  in would be really handy.

I also have a horse but no way to move him on my own.  I’ve been hiring someone with a trailer to move him every time we need to change barns, but it would be really handy to have a truck and (a horse trailer) of our own.

Of course, since I need to be able to pull a trailer — and stop while pulling a trailer — just any little truck won’t do.  I’ll need a full-size truck with either a tow package, or I’ll need to upgrade the brakes.

I’ll be looking into which full-size trucks will suit our needs best.  Besides what I’ve already mentioned, I want a truck that will be easy to maintain.  I usually prefer foreign vehicles, so I’ll have to look into how much Toyota Tundra parts cost and how reliable they are.

Buying a truck is a big decision, especially when you have very specific needs to fill.  If you have any recommendations for what makes and models we should consider, please feel free to comment!
