Terry, I am facing the same dillema. My truck is capable but not quite what I would really want to use. I am thinking F250/C2500 up with a hauler of 5 ton cap.
I do understand having to "compromise" as my work frequently puts me in social situations. I want my toast buttered/unbuttered, country/rap/hip-hop gospel etc. I tend to make things work as required to my benefit if I can. Sometimes its cold soup and heated conversation but I survive...
