I am thinking about getting a new tow rig. The main purpose of the rig will be towing my boat and for my boy to use to go to school (a couple of miles a day). I don't plan on putting a ton of miles on it every year but it will get regular use. I found a 97 ford F250 SC 4X4 with about 160,00 miles on it for a real good price (under 8000.00) and it seems to run fine and it is real clean and straight. I was wondering what you look for when you buy your vehicles. I wish I could afford a diesel but it is out of my budget range. I will be towing a 17ft Arima. Any help or advise appreciated.
