    Is this vehicle dependable? I need advise

    You can get the tires for a few hundred bucks in decent condition and not very old but you'll still have to replace them every few years since they only have a few years left on them. The big question is what kind of work do you do and what do you need the bed for? If it's heavy stuff you're...
