    Newb needs some truck advice (pertaining mainly to reliability).

    Well a RV is another story, still Ryder would be the way to go, and get maintenance records, a well serviced transmission will last for a long time,

    Newb needs some truck advice (pertaining mainly to reliability).

    First and foremost if a major repair will hurt you that bad your not ready to be in expediting, second a 2002 will be hard to find a carrier to take it on, most want nothing older than 6 years. Third if your gonna pull the trigger on a box truck I would go with Ryder, Uhaul seems to run theirs...
