- [Lawson] Whether you're looking for your first truck,
looking for a project truck,
or just don't quite have the funds for a new truck yet.
Don't worry about that.
You've come to the right place.
I'm Lawson with Custom Offsets,
and today we're going to go over the
top five trucks for under $10,000.
But before we do that, if you guys need wheels,
tires, or suspension, you already know, customoffsets.com,
we have all those links down in the description.
Let's get into it.
Now, before we get started,
keep in mind that there are diamonds in the rough.
There are screaming deals out there,
unlikely circumstances where there are
trucks with tons of miles, in terrible condition,
or take my truck, for example,
a 2011 Silverado 1500 that does not have a lot of miles,
but was involved in an accident.
We scooped it up from Copart, rebuilt it,
and now we're good to go.
This list consists of trucks that,
for the most part float under the $10,000 mark,
or are creeping up to it.
So for you Chevy guys and girls,
we have the 2007, 2013 Chevy Silverado, 1500.
Now, obviously this truck is
a very popular option in the truck world,
and if you were to look for one on the market,
there are literally pages and pages.
Now, the '07 and '08 models still had the notorious
4L60E and other red flags,
but still is the best option for that $10,000 price tag.
One thing that I did notice when I was doing my research
was that the '09 and '10 models were floating
just under that $10,000 mark, for lower trim models,
such as the LT, extended cabs, the single cab work trucks,
and even some of the higher mileage crew cabs.
Now crew cabs as a whole are going to be hard to find
under that $10,000 mark, they are out there.
Anything over 2011 will also be really hard to find,
something under that price tag as well.
Now, if you take a look in our parking lot,
there are a bunch of us who run this body style,
and continue to build our trucks,
and drive our trucks with absolutely no issues.
Sure, you'll run into your notorious bedside rust,
depending on where you live.
You know, we're in Wisconsin.
So literally we all run into it,
but I just fixed mine the other day,
and it really was not that bad.
They are a solid option to get into a truck
for under $10,000.
Now, our most popular lift kit for this body style
is the 79 McCoy's, which is at an $1,800 price tag,
which is actually pretty funny because
that is the same exact lift kit
that I'm going to be slapping on
my 2011 Silverado any day now.
Now another option for you Chevy fans,
one of the most popular trucks out there,
and I'm sure you guys already know what I'm gonna say.
The Chevy Silverado 1500 Cat Eye.
This generation Silverado is widely known
across the truck scene.
And today, is a great cheap option to get into.
I see a ton of options from crew cab to extended cab,
to even some Duramaxes,
dipping under that $10,000 price point.
Now it can be hard to find
clean examples of this generation.
In fact, I remember when I was visiting Ready Lift
in California,
seeing a clean one on the highway,
and I was freaking blown away.
I could not believe it,
especially being from Wisconsin.
Most of these body styles around here
are rotted out and need a ton of work.
Now with many aftermarket options,
Solid Motor and much more, the Cat Eye is a great option,
if you are looking to scoop up a truck for under $10,000.
Like I said before, with many aftermarket options,
you could literally lift your Cat Eye
for only a $1,000 with the
Rough Country six inch lift kit.
Next up for you Ford guys and girls,
a great option for you would be the
2002 to 2005 F-250 60 power stroke diesel.
So if you want to get into a diesel for cheap,
roll some coal, definitely scoop up one of these bad boys.
In all seriousness,
these power strokes are floating around the $8,000 mark,
especially the XLT extended cab and crew cab options,
as well as some of the high mileage Lariats.
These early 2000 power strokes are about the only diesel
you are going to be able to get into for under $10,000.
Now, the most popular kit that we offer
for these trucks is the Pro Comp or zone four inch lift kit,
which is sitting at only, literally $900.
You could lift here, power stroke up, be looking beautiful.
Now, if you want to get into a newer Ford truck,
a great option would be the
11th generation F-150, 2004 to 2008.
The huge revamp and styling, a ton of aftermarket support
went from torsion bars to struts,
which really increase the ride quality,
but still had some cam issues with their
five, four liter motor, the 11th generation F-150s,
made leaps and bounds from the 10th generation,
which in my opinion was literally the worst of them all.
I mean, them things is just ugly.
I know Junior loved his and I have seen some decent ones,
but wow, what a difference between both generations.
You can pretty much get any trim package,
in this generation, for under $10,000.
Like literally every single model,
you can get for under $10,000.
The best part, most of these models
are only sitting at about 150,000 miles,
which is not terrible.
Move up into the next generation, the 2009 to 2014s,
and you're going to be paying at least $12,000+,
unless it's a high mileage work truck.
If you want to lift your 11th gen F-150,
our most popular kit is the
Super Lift six inch lift kit sitting at $1,800.
Now, last but not least,
I know you guys bug us to talk about ramps,
and we're going to do just that.
The third generation Ram 1500, 2002 to 2008.
Now I'm sorry for all you Cummins owners and lovers,
but if you want to get into a Cummins, let's be real.
Be prepared to automatically drop $30,000
because well, bro tax, bro, but with these 1500s,
you can pretty much get any trim package you would like,
as they are all under $10,000.
I mean, come on, you get a freaking Hemi, like,
do you want bubble headlights or the ugly headlights?
There's single cab, quad cab,
crew cab, ST, the SLT, and Laramie.
There are literally so many options for not a lot of money,
and fairly decent aftermarket offerings,
despite being the only five lug truck.
Now, the best part is
you guys can get our best kit for these trucks,
the five inch Rough Country for only $1,200.
That's what I got for you guys in today's video.
