Well, it's only been 3.5 years Tom. lol
If i do get a Dak again, it will be a Quad Cab. The CC i had was nice
enough, but it was pretty rough with 2 friends in that back seat going for a
little 4-hour drive to get to our camping destination. hahaha
I think with the XJ i've gotten spoiled being able to keep all my gear
locked up and out of the elements. Jackie's father has a Gen I as it
happens, and has a cap on the back. She has laid down the law and there
will be no caps on any truck i buy from now on! lololol
I tease her and call her "anti-dad". Pretty much anything her dad has, she
doesn't like. lol
As for towing, isn't the Durango nearly equal to the task of a QC Dak?
And i'm thinking of the previous Gen. Durangos, not the current ugly
machine...
I would be going 4x4, 4.7 and all the rest of the standard gadgetry. Oh,
and what i want to tow will not weigh more than 5000 pounds, including the
trailer. And the trailer will have brakes on it as well. That 5000# is an
absolute max, and would likely include camping gear that i would probably
stow in the tow vehicle, rather than the trailer.
