Used trucks for sale in Albuquerque, NM under $3,000

This was a very reliable truck! Still is! It can go forever! Given the age it's more of a worktruck or starter truck but will take you where you need to go.

I did everything with this vehicle using it for an hvac business and personal use as well. The frame is full sturdy and I overloaded it alot removing old mechanical systems. Filled it with old commercial radiators which fit in well as high as the cab drove it back at 80 mph not one problem the way I like it. The Suspension still was not bottomed out and was robust. This truck came from ohio i got it at 95K

I had my 96 until I was T-Boned at a stop light while visiting Spokane. The air bags actually deployed in spite of the vehicle being over 24 years old. I was amazed and it probably saved me from broken bones or a skull fracture. I was sad to see this vehicle go because it was totaled and there is nothing out there that even compares to the great years of service. The model I had included a 3.3L v6 and Posi traction drivetrain with the full towing package. I hauled heavy items across the cascades several times without an issue.

Bought 2006 Ram SLT 4x4. Still own it. 246k miles. Standard maintenance, shocks, struts, power steering pump. Little rust required. Truck is more than most can expect. I wanted a truck that would last and give good service.

Truck needs rear main seal, oil pan seal, oil sending unit, all new gas lines and gas pump and left wheel bearing. Total 3600.00 bucks. It drives very nice with a rebuilt engine and new brake lines. Thing is when it gets this old with 220,000 miles all the seals go bad eventually. 5.3 vortec is amazing. Not sure how reliable the tranny is. Rust is prevalent for it’s in Minnesota Country. But not terrible with no rust trough. I’m getting this truck for free. So putting $$ into it to fix.

I found out about the frame replacement due to holes in too late and was able to get in on it at the very end. So, mine has an upgraded commercial frame which has zero holes in it from the manufacturing process. They also did the front-end new ball joints and a bunch of other things. Was a Great deal. Now approaching 140,000 miles and still running strong. No oil leaks on the engine or transmission. Regular maintenance on it has been done to keep it in great shape!

This is a great medium size truck.It has great pickup,handling great and good style.Iam somewhat dismayed as to why this vehicle has not been Remade as I would have a new one today.Mine is the 5 cy. Amazing.

Definitely gets attention. Very comfortable even on long distance trips. Wish I could keep it; but as fate would have it, that's not an option.

sat for 2 years put some new gas in it and started right up that’s what I call a chevy tough and it will be my learners vehicle and probably my vehicle forever

Bought used low mileage years ago, now has 278000 on it. Mostly Hiway miles. Other than the usual parts, it's been very reliable. Hope for 300,000, then think about something else. Always has rode rough unless loaded, and the 2.2 isn't a powerhouse by any means. These little trucks are a little heavy (3200 lbs) so the 4 cylinder isn't really up to the task. That said, these really are trucks and not a toy. Still like mine!

I hate I can't buy another new one this same body style. Almost 20 years and spent very little. Only needed basic maintenance. Love this truck. Awesome 4x4, comfortable and handles and toes well.

Awesum, I.m the second owner, mom bought new and I got it when she passed from cancer. It has 20,000 orig. miles. I get 21mpg as long as I stay under 60mph. My only complaint is the placement of the fuel selenoid. It went quit working one time, i made sure the motor was cold because the selenoid filled with fuel and when you pull it apart the gas runs onto the motor/manifold.

Bought this truck in'03 with 110k miles. I'm proud to say, it now has 348k. Very dependable ride. Always starts, gets 15 mpg combined average mileage, and has enough power to pull my car trailer with way too much on it, lots of times. The downside of the Dakota's are the body rust. Door bottoms, wheel wells, and now the rocker panels are falling apart. Got my money's worth!! Looking for my next Dakota right now.

The truck is a rust magnet and every truck made at same time that i see has exact same spots rusted my running boards are completely gone and i live ford trucks and vehicles only brand I’ve owned my 1990 ranger had zero rust on it and was older so if buy 99 to 03 f150 check for rusty frame

I have had many new vehicles and because of this one I probably won't buy another. This truck (F150 FX4 ) Is the best ever. Drives great, tows perfect and has been very reliable. I bought it as a demo in 2006 and have done a small handful of repairs in that time. 16 years-wow!

The odometer stopped working at 322223 miles And the trip meter was 667.. But the speedometer still works great roughly guessing right now. I think it has around 375000 miles. And it still starts up and does the job every day? No major engine work done, typical spark plugs, oil change, alternator little things. Nothing major still runs great still very comfortable AC still blows cold. I love this truck, I'll never get rid of it.

only problem with the truck i had was that door didnt seall real well kinda noisy in high winds but other than that it was a great truck love it

I have owned mine 13 years and it has almost never needed anything but routine maintenance. It is powerful, fuel-efficient and well built. I have had many guys stop me to ask if I wanted to sell it because the 7.3L Power Max is such a stellar engine.

I bought a bran new metallic lighter green 1992 ford F 150. I never like king beds and this was a king bed but it still was very good looking ford Truck. I loved the dual gas tanks as I lived in St George Utah at the time and did a lot of Traveling back to my family snd friends just North of Sally Lake so those dual tanks ZI coul fuel up and still have plenty of fuel after A 329 mile drive. Also in the winter keep the rear tanks fuel and if I got in a bad snow storm I could go anywhere.
