Looking to get my first truck

[Spaded602]

Hey everyone I've been looking to get my first truck here soon, I've always have owned cars. Always owned a Honda than I had my son which lead me to buy my first Mercedes. Now I'm looking to change it up I've been noticing that I've been having to haul things around lately and never had my own truck to do it with. Tired of having to ask for help from buddy's with trucks to move anything. I've been doing the ford fact program and have been learning about them. I figured that since I'm certified to work on them might as well just get one since it will save me money in the long run if I have to fix it. I'm limiting my spending to no more than $7500. Looking for nothing older than a 99.
