Better get both, just so you got an excuse for a new quad again later.

Having a hard enough time selling her on the truck. She already gave me a list of things it can't have: Lift, Big Tires, Mud flaps, camo trim, can't be white ( or any weird color).. Oh and she wants leather (why)? But I'll take what I can get I guess.

I'm sorry, I didn't limit my comment to the 150/1500 class of truck, I would just go to the 250/2500 or higher, to get the configuration that I'd want and to avoid the weight limitations.

But this is just my way of thinking....

If all you're only hauling 4 quads and a trailer, and you're budget is limited the 150/1500 series trucks would be enough IMO. Then again, if you decide later that maybe a large toyhauler is in your future, the HD truck would save you another trip back dealership.

Continueing to narrow the search. Seams as though the Ext cabs just do not have enough room for my sons legs back there in any make. Now searching for a Chevy/GMC Crew. Dam they are proud of those things.

Ford is supposed to come out with a 4.4 diesel for the F-150 in the next few years.

I see they're going to discontinue the Dakota and make a truer mid size truck. Possibly some Fiat input on that too.

They do say the move with Ram would allow other makes of trucks to be sold along side it. Very interesting.
