Hi Sue, What year is Giver's current truck? Currently I drive a 2001 2 wheel drive Chev POS. Well its a good truck just no four wheel drive which sucks. I really think you have to look at the amount of travel given the price of fuel or what exactly you will be doing with the truck!

I drive a 2 door Blazer with the ZR2 package but if I was to do it again I would buy a 4 door truck full size and 4 wheel drive. My uncle has a 3/4 ton diesel Dodge 4 door 4 wheel drive and that thing in a pulling machine. He took a fifth wheel trailer to Alaska and back last summer and he said it pulled like a dream. Thats what you need great pulling power and something not to bad on fuel.
Just my 2 cents

the truck that he had (it's mine now) is a 1999 4x4. the one he is driving as we speak to dryden now for work, is a 2007 Dodge ram deisel, and a dream truck it is! dovver,, I think your uncle is right, this thing has power like you wouldn't believe! it's going to be interesting this year! we thought that deisel was the way to go on account of the rediculous gas prices, and him being on the road so much for work,, we have talked about this for a while now,, today my truck will be delivered with it's new transmission!! woohoo!! I'll post pics of my new truck once I get it home and waxed oh, here's our new one:

My Uncle has a 4 door diesel 1 ton. He pulls a 50 steel trailer for hauling pigeons. He said the same thing about it Dover, he loves it. He gets better mileage pulling that trailer than I get just driving regular. When we go moose hunting he towed the trailer with the bike and gear. He said you don't even know its there. I would love to go diesel next time also.

I will say right up front I'm a G.M. guy to the bone, but I never knock what others drive. At least it's the right colour. I'm sure it will be a great truck.

When I was younger and had empty pockets, it was one of three choices - cheap, cheaper, or cheapest.
Now that I am older, my pockets are still empty by the way, it's still one of three choices - Chevy, Chevy, or Chevy.
