I hope this isn’t against the rules.
My son is currently enlisted Navy, retires next year.
I would like to buy him a truck to use around his little farm.
Doesn’t need to be pretty, just something to haul stuff around and go to the feed/supply store in town occasionally. 4 wheel drive would be good. He is located a little west of Lexington.

I’m going to visit him and his family next month and would like to buy this for him while I’m there.
Any advice on where to look for this type of truck?
Budget is 5-6k
Thanks

Look for a used Silverado 2003-2006.

GMT800 with a 5.3 (half ton) or 6.0 (2500/3500).

That budget is doable with a 4x4 Z71.  If he needs work done to it, take it to my friend Chris at CT Diesel Performance down off exit 83 (Duncannon lane) off I-75.

well if you are ok at working on trucks, I have a ford f250 that have put work in and then got leak in transmission and oil line I think it was. I parked it about 1.5 years ago and its not pretty but it went. 4wd changed out to hubs, and had all fuel lines replaced and other work. AC just kinda stopped working one day and didn't need it and my mechanic doesn't do ac (probably needs charging). Its like a 97 model for    800 bucks but you have to trailer it or tow it.

Essayons brother, if he doesn’t want it, I do.

If a Tahoe is ok I noticed one for sale for $3800 on Bardstown Road in Louisville today.
