After all y'all's comments about the 4WD, and the fact that I'm not too desirous
of a white truck, I went with this one:

Hopefully they'll leave that page up for a few days.

I drove it home last night. It drives well. But, it's definitely in a bigger
league than the 4Runner.

Now if I can just find a nice place for the "Save the Bay" bumper sticker.

I, for one, would be very interested in frequent updates, opinions,
and squawks. I'm seriously considering a K2500 or K3500 dually for a
replacement for the current truck....

One problem with * dualies is that unless you're loaded with
something, they can be fairly worthless on snow, ice or even heavy
rain. *Too much flotation in the back end.

Of course, you might not have a problem w/that out on the east coast.

Never had a problem with that... the trick is narrow tires. Hugely
wide tires, the wider the better, make sense on sand, not so with the
Piedmont hard red clay and snow and ice....

I've read that dualies cut down on your mileage significantly. Are you sure you
need 'em?

Probably not. I haven't found that they cut down on mileage, but they
are damn expensive to buy. They add a LOT of stability....

I'm really leaning toward super singles....

I'm not planning on any races down Splugen Pass, so I've not worried about the
stability. This pass, BTW, made my wife famous in our group of motorcyclists for
having done it on her motorcycle.

Looks like you could kick the bike into neutral and coast the way
down, John.

Nope, damn near have to stop for the switchbacks. It was a hard ride with rain
almost to the top where it turned to snow. At the top was a small customs shack
and a small coffee shop with a wood stove. It was the most beautiful thing in
the world. It's probably a good thing it was raining. If I could have looked
down and seen that view, I'd probably have called for a helicopter to get me
down!
