What is your definition of “nice”?

Yeah if you are good with a smaller truck and/or a base package.

My quick answer is no; but that is based on my definition of nice.

Does it have to a truck? 20k can get you quite a bit if you're willing to open your options a little

I could, but I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to a vehicle.

For only driving 5k miles a year, I'd look for a well maintained Toyota Tacoma. Even a well maintained, high mileage one will give you some good years.

Yes, and especially if you wait a little bit.

Used vehicle prices are dropping abruptly

I just bought an 08 4x4 Silverado with 120k miles, LT package with leather seats in very good condition for $9k so yes.

Nice = Luxurious with lots of features or clean and highly dependable? Used Taco in good condition should be doable at that price. A used Ridgeline of equal price will probably be "nicer" as in more space and features and by all account more dependable.

Nissan frontier made after 2011.

The radiator issue was fixed. It can tow 7500lbs or so. And is reasonable to buy.

My truck is only worth $20k, and it's pretty nice, so I would say so.
