I don't see me replacing my 97 for quite a while. It is paid for, gets me where I need to go (basically all over the country so far) in comfort. If it was a daily driver, I would consider replacing it with a new GM.

Where is the options for "nothing, I'm done"?

Honestly, as far as I can see, it does not get better than what I have. The other makers haven't offered anything that changes the outcome of my initial investigations, and GM has IMO gone down since introducing the '03 "angry chinaman" Avalanchization cap. So here I sit, happy as a "duck on a June Bug".

Hmm...

The 2wd Dodge is gonna have to be replaced sooner or later. And I'm thinking it'll be replaced with a GM. Couple reasons why. I want a crewcab/4 door dually- The Dodge crewcab is weeny. Fords is big/nicer, but I can't stand the interior...No matter what trim level, it still looks like a work truck to me. I want an auto- The Aliison is the only auto of the 3 I have any faith in. I like the GM interior over the other two. And I like the IFS front of the GM and it's ride quality. If I'm gonna be towin stuff all over the place for long distances, I want to be as comfy as possible. To me, the GM fits the "road trip" idea alot better than the compitition.
