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....

One of the joys of owning a small boat that can be trailered is that you
don't need a humongous truck to tow it.

Or slip rent.


I tow a 21' boat. Nice size for comfort and safety where I boat. Love the
diesel pickup for both the mileage and the safety while pulling. My S10
blazer would pull the boat, but it was near the same weight, so who was
really in control?
