[Airborne Butters]

I just got an 03 S-10 about 6 months ago and enjoy it so far. It's only got a 4 cylinder so that kind of annoys me, but overall a pretty good truck, especially gas wise. The problem with buying fleet trucks is , like you said, they're hard drivin'. Those and the fact that they're pretty standard in the way they don't have radio, cruise control, etc..

Honestly though, I wouldn't go with any truck that's over ten years old like you're looking for. I'd look for something in the 99-04 range. Should be able to find a nice truck for a good price in those years.
