I agree Buy The Chevy. But if you are to buy something else don't go with the dodge. They seem to be built like most women (WEAK) !!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

2001 F-150 crew cab is what we have

I always thought I'd love to have a Jerr-Dan flatbed / lowboy car carrier connected to an f-350 crew cab 4x4...
just think, if the crew cab had a bench seat in the front, and the aluminum deck was 21feet long and 8.5feet wide(an optional but available size), you'd have no problem carrying 6 people and 6 atv's...

and I could haul and tow cars on the side for extra cash!!!

OR

the real ultimate would be a 9-passenger conversion van ( http://www.sterlingvans.com/FullSize/9pass.htm ) pulling an all aluminum deck-over trailer about 28'x8.5' that could haul 8 adults and 8 atv's at once.... SUPER-COMFY!

I can tell......... a can 'o worms has been opened here................
I have a 01 GMC Sierra. 4.8ltr V-*/.343 posi diff. The truck gets pretty good mileage out on the highway, almost 20mpg. Towing 3500lbs, it gets 11mpg. Hope this helps in your decision.

I have to say my GMC Sierra with a special package has been <U>"THE TRUCK"</U> for me thus far. Put a 6" Fabtech Suspension on it and 33" BFG AT on it. Looks great, rides high and has the Vortec V8 350 in it. Will pull anything including my soon to arrive Polaris 600 Twin on a new trailer.

Got a question....is it better to get a trailer that pulls two ATV's back to back or one that holds two ATV's side by side with side loading....let me know what you all think??? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Chevy, LIKE A ROCK

Exactly; Drive around them, Drive over them, or winch them out of the way!

I am in a simular situation ,have a 97 Tacoma and would like to go a little bigger say a Toyota Tundra or Dodge dakota(would like something I can put the sportsman in the truck bed if necessary but don't want to go to a large full size truck as I park in town and have to get it into parking garages. I have heard that Chevy is bringing out a Dakota stye truck in the fall of 03. I may wait until then to check them out. Has anyone heard about ball joint problems with the dodges ?
