Poll: Which Truck?

Assumption: Both will do the farm job.

Truck A: Dodge Dakota Club Cab - $25,506, 6850lb rated tow capacity, utterly useless back seat that will be removed for easy accumulation of crap, seats 2 (or 3 in a pinch) nearly identical to my dearly beloved 12 yo Dakota which goes everywhere on the farm.

Truck B: Dodge Ram 1500 regular cab - $21,274, 7500lb rated tow capacity, seats 3, 3" too tall to fit in barn cellar, 10" shorter front to back (good thing), better turn radius, more bed space, less tool space in cab.

My experience, which may totally fail to be useful or applicable, is that more bed space and a better turn radius are the things which would make my life better on a daily basis, and that "behind the seat" space may as well be more constrained because it fills up with random crap all to often anyway. Tow capacity is too often an overconservative game played on paper, but "more is better" wins in my mind there, too.

Pity you can't drop B 3".

"Pity you can't drop B 3"."

Could you put smaller diameter wheels on the Ram?
