If you were going to go out and buy a used truck, what would you buy?

Originally, we were going to use my sister's truck and trailer to move  
the horses and sheep, but her truck is sick. It's terminal, really,  
she's been neglecting it for years.  "Oil?" she says, quizically.

Anyway, I went out and bought a really nice little used bumper pull  
stock trailer, because I need to be able to move the animals around on  
my own up there.  My soccer mom wagon isn't going to hack it. Roy has  
cut me loose to truck hunt.

I am leaning towards a Dodge 2500 or Ford F250, diesel, so we can run  
biodiesel through it. 4WD.  I'd like to avoid high mileage. I'd like  
to spend under $8,500. Suggestions (other than praying to the Truck  
Gods?)
