I thought that for a little while, but I see no reason not to go full
size in that case.... I mean, once your Dakota is 25 feet long, what's
the advantage over a Ram? it looses the maneuverability advantage, you
loose the easy fit of a Cummins, you have to swap solid axles in
yourself.... but don't feel bad - I was thinking very seriously of
doing a quad cab with a 6.5' box. I love the idea of bobbing a longbox
so you get both departure angle and a usable bed though :^)
