I have a Jeep Liberty, that pulls a 10 x 6 trailer. Seems to suite my wood scrounging needs. But still really want a Ram pickup

Just getting a vehicle dedicated to collecting wood is not very practical. Get a trailer with a ramp. Much more versatile and less expensive.
I don't know where you guys are finding these $500 trucks. I just spent a long time looking for a beater truck and anything under $1000 was a complete rust bucket. Most with bad frames. I ended up buying a truck for $600 and a parts truck with a dump mechanism for $700. Many hours later I have a 1 ton 4x4 dump truck. But total I have about $2600 in it. I did not find anything under $1500 that was 4wd and would pass inspection without some real work. Where I typically go for wood a trailer would be a pain and I need 4wd. But trailers do work well for many other people and many times you can get by without 4wd.
Yes and did you look at most of those adds? Most that are actually 500 or less say for parts only or does not run. And by complete rust bucket I mean holes in the floors bad cab corners and or rusty frame. Even if it is just a beater you still need a good frame to pass inspection. And from most I looked at a good solid frame was hard to come by. Hell our 2006 chevy 2500 work truck just needed the frame plated in 6 spots to pass inspection and it only has 60,000 miles on it.Your profile says you're from central PA- there does not appear to be a $500 pickup truck shortage in that area!

I usually do that after a bad stretch of weather on the first warm day.Regular washing helps. Under body and wheel wells
