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....

Could be, Gene. i know of several guys ehre who have dualies who have
been stuck because mud caked up between the rims. Of course, if
you're in mud like that, then there's a lot of pilot error and
misjudgment, though.But where a normal 3/4 ton pickup would go, I
have witnessed people slipping and slithering around on snow with them.
