[QUOTE="H D, post: 960172, member: 68494"] If you're patient, you can do much better than $12k for 140,000 miles. I got my '01 last year in mint condition, every option except limited slip, including 4x4, with 54k miles. $9,700 out the door. Dealer was asking $11,700. If you want a V8, you're going to have to go Gen2. Do you really go off road or just off pavement? Are you just looking for 4x4 as a convenient option or will you really use it? If yes, then Gen1. You'll be lucky to find the tonneau cover from a dealership, but if you do that's a great bonus. It shouldn't affect the price much. You can find them on here occasionally. I'd shoot for rear disc brakes and the knowledge that some of the bugs might have been worked out. Overall, though, I'd go for the lowest mileage one you can find with the options you want with the model year taking a backseat to mileage and price. I initially wanted an '03-'05 but all the ones I found were 4x2, high mileage or beat to hell. I certainly don't feel like I made any compromises getting a 2001. [/QUOTE]
