Poll: Which Truck?

[goddessfarmer]

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.

See, I would get the RAM - for all of the reasons you cite above. (read those numbers carefully - the higher tow weight and more room across the seat is the less $$) MPG's are the same. My current truck doesn't get put in the barn cellar very often anyway. Both are Dodge. And I have some very good reasons for not believing anything from consumer reports, but that's a great big rant. OH, and these prices are really good ones already.

Well then in that case, I'd get the Ram. But, I like a big truck .
Of course, I have both, only use the big one for big farm stuff, and drive the little one everyday.
And I'm not in love with the Ranger.
Have you driven them both?

I definitely recommend a spray-on liner for the truck bed. I think I went with Line-X for my truck.
