Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 5291399, member: 6696"] What kind of carpentry is she getting into? That will determine her needs. If she's starting her own company or the place she's working for I haven't worked in carpentry for a long a** time but my uncle was a GC who did his own carpentry and hired on his plumber, drywaller, tile guy, etc. All of his folks brought all their own equipment and needed trucks or vans. But if you're working for a homebuilding company or something and they're providing everything but your tool belt (miters, air compressors, etc), then you'd probably be fine with a typical hatchback. If the truck is needed, I'm thinking finding something where you can get a reasonable monthly payment with the 3-5k down would be the only way. A 3-5k truck is not going to get you far. I just sold a piece of crap old truck with 250k miles and no catalytic covertor for 7k and that thing is not close to a reliable ride. [/QUOTE]
