Default New truck?

Should I, or should I not? I've about decided that diesel pickups are too damn
expensive. I'm looking pretty seriously at this:

Any comments? Any experience with this beast? Consumer Reports gives it a great
rating, and the damn thing will tow over 10K pounds.


The best thing about that truck is the ARE tonneau cover on the bed.
I've had one for nearly 10 years on my F-150 SuperCrew and it has kept
the dry inside. I would pull out the hard liner and put in a Bed Rug.

If you are going to get a goose neck some day you might want to
reconsider. You really need the full size bed to accommodate the 5th
wheel.


I've asked about that, and the folks with the fifth wheelers say it's not a
problem, except when making a very tight turn. Then the front of the trailer may
hit the cab of the truck.

My wife and I have agreed to go look at this one as soon as it gets here. Should
be in a couple days.
