I'm getting promoted to Corporal in a few months so I'll be in the market for a vehicle. I really want an import car (STi, EVO, etc) with a motorycle trailer to haul my motorcycle, but I would benifit more from a truck. So I'm looking for a sports truck since a sports car isn't really practicle. I was considering the Colorado, S-10, etc. Something, fast, easily modable with plenty of aftermarket prouducts, and it must have a manual transmission. I don't know anything about trucks so I need your help. What kind of truck should I get?

an SVT lightning f-150. supercharged if possible :P or a rousch. don't get an s-10 unless its the 4.3L, you wont be happy with the 2.2L, and you won't be able to pull a trailer. i personally love my Dodge Ram Sport too, its the 5.9L.

The Ford Lightning has never had a manual tranny option. Hopefully the next one will; I believe the concept did.

You could buy an S-10 and replace the 4.3 with an LS1 V8 or something. Has more aftermarket support than the 4.3 does (not that the 4.3 doesn't have good support). Or maybe an S-10 Xtreme? Chevy engines are built pretty well and have lots of torque out of the box. Won't take a whole lot to "wake it up" some.

Also, how heavy will your tow load be?

Corporals make about 1,800 per month, and I live in the barracks, and I don't have any current bills. That should answer your question.

I really wasen't looking to pull a trailer. The motorcycle will go in the bed of the truck.

The new Toyota Pickup looks awesome

Go bigger than the Colorado, step up to the Silverado at least. If you're willing to wait the new F-150 & RAM are possibilities as well.
