Now that's a good buy.  Drives and is only $2k.

But I wonder about the "around town" bit?  And what's a slide a bed?

That around town bit tells me it's a truck you could use to run around town with for a decade, but one trip across the country on the hwy might ruin it haha.

The slide a bed is one of those bed drawyers or slide out floors.

I had a truck that was fine around town but lost coolant on the highway.  Bad headgasket.

But that slide a bed might be valuable.  They are sought after.

$2000 for a running, driving 4x4 seems great. I would think the topper and bed slide would be worth something if you didn’t want them.

I was also thinking, around town rig might be due to the gearing and tranny, screaming on the highway! Or the aerodynamics of that topper! But, that’s an assumption on my part.
