As the title says, I'm looking at picking up a cheap work truck. I'm mostly looking in the $2-3k range from 1996-2001.

If you were in my boat and had to choose between Ford, Dodge or GMC, what would your choice be and why?

I found a decent Sierra for $3k but then I realized I don't know much about trucks or their nuances. From what I've read so far, most seem to think Ford is the way to go, and there are tons of them (F150's), but not sure Ford reliability was all that great back then compared to what it is today.

Any tips/input/advice would be appreciated.
