    If you are looking for an honest answer then here you go....

    You would be insane to buy a truck and jump back into this having not driven for many years! Your safest bet is to drive company for a year and see what's been going on while you have been out of the picture. Also if you are asking questions about what truck to buy means you aren't ready to buy a truck! When you are ready and in a good position to buy a truck you will know if its a good deal or not.

    Probably sounds harsh or negative but this is the answer to your question.
