Staying is a big temptation on going out and buying a new one. But after
seeing the 2004 model and now the change of design to the Power Wagon, I am
hooked. I don't want to ran to the dealer over the weekend and make a fatal
mistake of buying a 2001. I was tempted in buying a Ford L for 25K (only had
8K miles). But I know in the end the Dakota with the 5.7 and the HP to
weight ratio will be a screamer and it new radical design is to my taste
buds.
This way, I am not tempted if I remove myself until then.
