I have a 2002 Ford Taurus with 148,000 miles (from the divorce) and my kids are insisting that I get out of it. I have a big dog and a bike and I am thinking about getting a pickup. I have driven a Ford Ranger, but it seems to small. I can't afford much right now, so what should I be looking for? I would love a 4-door F-150. Any suggestions? I wouldn't be hauling much but the big lab dog and my bike, but can't do either with my car. Of course, tags, taxes and insurance are considerations also.

You must have a huge dog if you cannot move it in your car. You can always install a tow hitch and get a bike rack, or a roof rack (unless you mean motorcycle). This would be considerably cheaper. Keep in mind that with a truck insurance is higher and gas is higher (trust me, I went from a Taurus to a truck). If you want to make the move before the car dies, go with a small truck. I got a Nissan Frontier (the old style, smaller) which I love. The Toyota Tacomas are great. If you are not hauling a lot then a smaller truck will get better gas milage and serve all your needs. Try a used one from Carmax and you probably will like the decision.

With kids, you may want to consider an SUV. I have a Ford Explorer (2002) and I can fit almost anything in it with the rear seats down. It is much larger than the body style before the current one (I think the new body style started in 2002) and you can comfortably fit the dog, bike, and kids without having one or all of them wet in the event of rain. You can find them relativly cheap...try ebay. We have bought 3 cars from Ebay and they were all perfect and well under the market value.
