I'm looking into buying my first automobile, and I have a Pick-up truck, manual, 5 or 6 cylinders in mind. I'm not sure about a 2WD or a 4WD. Defiantly want an extended cab. I'm not sure what else I want beyond that. My choice of manufacturer's is Toyota, Ford, and Chevy/GMC. Does anyone have any input on this, either first hand or from a friend?
