If your looking for a reliable, easy on fuel (2.3 liter) pick up truck I recommend a ford ranger. I have owned the truck for two years and did not put one cent in repairs.

Bought in 2009 with 25,000 original mi. certified on Carfax. This is as basic of a truck as you can get. No power steering or radio. But a great small work truck. Added a CD player myself. Other than oil changes no maintenance has been needed.
Still going strong after all these years!

I bought my Ranger brand new when I was 18. It's the only vehicle I've ever owned. My inspections only cost $7, because vehicles over 25 years old only have to have the safety inspection done--no emissions test. This truck has stood the test of time. I've had several offers for it, even though I'm not selling it.

Bought an old Ranger from some guy in a trailer park for $900 because it ran and I could afford it. It was repainted with primer grey, older than I was, 342k miles and dripping oil from the tailpipe. Wound up being the most reliable thing I ever owned. Never left me on the side of the road in over three years, had an occasional failure to start that could be solved by jiggling the battery cable, and cost me a total of ~$200 in repairs in maintenance -- which combined with the surprisingly good fuel economy and dirt cheap insurance (why bother with full coverage when the thing's already banged up the full way around?) makes it a godsend to a broke college student. -- It's very basic, but delivers 20+ mpg and is all but indestructible. If you're looking for a very nice whip, this isn't it without a lot of custom work, but if you just need to get from A to B and take a good bit of stuff with you, this is the way to go. Oh, and the tailpipe quit dripping oil after a $7 bottle of compression sealer, for the record.

Not incredibly useful when used to haul 4x8 sheets. You need to build a special carrier (2x4s work) to haul panels. Plenty of power. Good for the average truck user.
