I own a full size ram X-cab. Goes anywhere and everywhere no prob. Want a mini go for a yota or nissan. I prob would have if I could have afforded it. The american trucks are 1/2 the price of the foreign ones! Make sure you get an X-cab or crew. You will always want it if you dont have it!

ford F-150 4 wheel drive

I know this won't be popular, but go with a 4x4 double cab Toyota Tacoma. They're unstoppable.

Everybody has thier favorite but i would have to say Toyota i own 2 of them i bought a king cab 90 model 4x4 22re brand new and i still have it i hunt out of it year around and fish its been the best truck ive ever owned it has over 400,000 miles the motor has never been rebuilt and it runs like a top,well my wife talked me in to buying a exstra truck for a spare for me to drive when iam not hunting so i bought me another Toyota Tacoma crew cab 4 door 4x4 this past year brand new and i love it so now i have 2 trucks that i love to drive i really believe in these trucks everybody says why dont you buy American well iam the trucks i own were built in the United States by American workers alot of people dont relize that just because it says Toyota but when you buy one you are keeping Americans jobs think about it.

Dodge Dakota with a 6' bed and extended cab. get the v-8. the 3.7 is good but a v-8 is more hp and torque.

You can get good aftermarket stuff for it as well and they're dependable.

If you are going old school the old Jeep Comanche, Apache Trucks.

Mitsubishi Raider truck (Dakota only Cheaper and different badges)

BOOOO fords. Go with Chevy or Dodge. You'll love it.

I have a Nissan Frontier 4x4 crew cab short bed that I have taken down "roads" that I had no business going down, didnt know it until I was there. It is un-stopable and will tow a boat with no problem. I will say that It is a little light in the backend on ice/snow and it should be about 4" higher (i fixd that prob)
