I'm looking for a 1 ton pickup with dump bed for towing my Kubota L35 with and other uses.
I have a few questions:
1.) In general, what is the Combined Gross Vehicle Weight on a truck this size?
2.) Does 380K miles mean there is much left, engine life-wise, with this truck? Does the mileage scare anyone off?
3.) I've seen many of these trucks come equipped with gas, V-8 engines in the 350 c.i. range. Is this enough motor for this kind of a truck? They must put rather tall gearing in their rear axles, 4.50-ish or greater.
4.) Do I want to find one with and auto or manual transmission? If you'd relay your reasoning for why, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Here's one that I've found and wonder what the 'horse-traders', who know far more than I, think.
