Cheap and 4x4 usually don't get used in the same sentence!
Not a very big budget to work with for a decent 4x4. I suspect the majority in that price range and going to be wrung out and wore out POS trucks.
I do wish you luck though. You might get lucky and find that rare gem for sale.
Looking for a cheap 4x4 pickup. Ugly is fine as long as it runs well. Budget is around 3-4k.
Might also consider quads or some type of off-road golf cart type thing.
Prefer within a few hours of Austin but if it is the right deal further is fine.
Thank you!
They had a naturally-aspirated diesel,crzyone,
Give me a few days & I'll find you an OLD-SCHOOL 4x4 Ford F250 diesel. in that price range = CRUDE, TOUGHER THAN A dollar steak & seldom breaks down.
LOTS of those on South Texas ranches. = The old 1986 model that we had on our farm for >20 years had over 500,000 miles when it was DESTROYED by a neighbors one ton Santa Gertrudeus bull.
FWIW an old-school 6.9 IH diesel with a manual trans is damned near indestructible.

I'm in a similar position you are; I keep looking for a ranger or old tacoma sized light truck. I'd love a V6 manual ranger but ones that don't look like they were driven off a cliff and fewer than 200k miles are still $4000. I specifically want a very small truck, but there are many used F150s, F250s, and other similar trucks for $2500 around here.
