Alright I decided my vehicle is time to get the boot and me get a new one because I'm tired of putting more into it then what it's worth.

So I'm looking for opinions on which vehicle to go with. Either A. A 03 chevy S-10 (the 3 seater) that has 44K miles for about $7 grand

Or

B. A 97 GMC Sierra 1500 with 89.5K miles for almost $5 grand.

What I'm looking for which would be better for gas, builds, and handle lovely Ohio winters.

S10 would be better on gas. But an 8 year old s10 for $7 large, yikes.

I would get an extended cab atleast with four wheel drive if I wanted another truck.

I had a 2000 Toyota Tocoma and loved it. I also had three s10's and one Ranger. Unless you need a truck bed I would buy an SUV but they do cost more.

If you want a truck then decide on either compact, mid size or full size and go from there.

Me personally, I recommend an suv after owning numerous trucks and one Blazer. But if you need a truck I like Tacoma and full size Chevy.

7k seems a little much...for an s10 but the miles are low
