Looking for a truck

Well, our plans are moving along. Currently we pull a utility trailer with 'stuff' and our motorcycle. Being in Yellowstone at 7200', the temps and weather not always be bike weather, hence, we need a vehicle. Truck works best because it can carry the motorcycle as well as our bicycles. The stuff will get distributed between the motorhome and possibly storage or a yard sale. The truck can be towed behind.

Have been scouring Craigslist to find the right one, have found a couple good ones, but have to act fast. Haven't had the time to act fast yet.

Good candidate will be a Ford Ranger, extended cab, 5-speed, long bed. Mazda, Chevy, Dodge will also all work just fine in this configuration. Like to get something 99 or older, mainly to keep the cost down.

We want a manual transmission because it would not require modifications to tow with all 4 wheels down. An automatic would need a driveshaft modification, this gets expensive.

Why is it that all the trucks that match most of this description have been red with red interior, and with the year requirement, they all seem quite faded.

Looks like I shouldn't have too much issue selling my trailer, I had two offers on it today! Just not ready to sell it yet. DIdn't even have a For-Sale sign on it!
