Default Looking to buy my first truck

Hello, im looking for some opinions on what a nice truck would be for me. i was leaning towards a f150 of course which is why i am here, im only young and dont know a lot of knowledge on trucks, i would have a lot of reading to do. i am coming here to hear some easy opinions from you guys with a lot of knowledge on this stuff, i do construction work, mainly roofing (framing/siding/metal ect.)
i would like the truck to be able to haul a trailer nothing to expensive i would like to stick with a USED f150 as i aint to rich my budget would have to be below $10,000.
all opinions would be appreciated my ears are open!!

thanks, Josh

Don't know what state you're in but I live in GA... I've purchased all of my vehicles online using yahoo auto... It helps to narrow down my search... But looks like you'll be looking for at most a 2004 model.... prices vary by state.. This that I pulled up is ohio...

Just shop around, always check internet ads, my truck (05, 4.2l 5 speed, 98k) was 7400 online, 8600 at the lot.

craigslist is your friend when shopping used. Search by private sales and you can get some good deals.
