You don't have to convince me, I totally agree with you
guys and Four Wheeler magazine. I just thought it was
funny that they made such a big point about the seats and I
think you 4.7L guys would take offense to this quote- "The
4.7L is a kick with all that high-revving power, but we
question this engine as a valid truck powerplant with it's
deficiencies in low-end torque."
I'd buy the Dakota just on looks alone, the Tundra is
hideous and I'd like to see how that little 8" Toyota rear
axle is doing years from now after seeing some towing duty.
