Well I was just going about a rough estimate :) Last time I saw you in
a Dak was 2002 at the BBQ heh...

Yeah - I've had a chance to try out the club cab seats in the 1995 I
picked up. Not good for anyone bigger than a kid, or for a short jaunt
for an adult. I'm not a big guy and I felt closed in heh. Still no
where NEAR as bad as the side jump seats in the rangers and S-10s.

Simple solution. Bed cover. If you wan't security - take a look at the
hardshell cover Ed has on his 2000 Quad. Looks real good on his truck.
Ya know - I have a regular cab short box truck (Ram) , regular cab long
bed Gen I trucks (Silver Eightynine's), a club cab Gen II (the 95). If
I were to get a Gen III Quad cab... I would have sampled every major
truck body style. Hmmm

Yeah I had assumed you were talking about a Durango and not a Durvango.
hehe.
Yeah a Quad can haul about the same as a Durango. Probably a little
more than a Durango because its lighter (I think?) than the SUV version.

This I had automatically assumed :)

Yeah I think you should be able to handle that. Jason and Norah or Ed
would be the ones you should ask about towing and Quads... as they have
had lots of experiance in that area.
Glad to have you back in The Family :)
