If you are into hunting,dirtbikeing,fourwheeler get a truck most of my friends have car and they hate them. I have a 96 f-150 4x4 and i can't even rember how many times i have used the 4x4. But if gas is a issue do get any a v8 truck. You can buy a ford ranger v6 or 4 banger pretty cheap. Good luck finding a vechicle don't chose to quick
