Kinda off the normal topic material here, but it IS relevant...
Most of us have a truck as a daily driver/junk hauler/tow rig. I currently own my late grandfather's '85 GMC Sierra Classic 1/2 ton 2wd, factory heavy half(big brakes). It's been more of a driver/junk hauler than tow rig(305's just don't cut it).
It's done it's job, but to be honest, it's worn out. The tin worm has definitely taken it's toll.
I've been wanting an extended-cab 4x4 for a while, and had been leaning towards an 88-98 Chevy/GMC Z71, but have been seriously considering a Dodge of the same variant.
I like the styling, and their extended cabs are WAAAAY bigger(I have kids). I know the 318's will run forever as long as you treat them right, and I haven't seen too many of them clapped out due to the aforementioned tin worm.
Will most likely get a 1/2 ton(3/4 if the price is right)...should be enough to handle a small car trailer.....anyone have any advice/suggestions/warnings? I know DF has that 3/4 ton V-10 powered Ram, let's hear about it...
