I agree with you wholeheartedly there. I was just talking to a friend
about this and I suggested that there might be a market for an 'on-road'
4x4 truck. One meant for on road driving without the beefed up suspension
so it would look better (IMHO) and also (hopefully) cost a bit less. Maybe
I'm not the only one who feels this way:)

I agree with you there as well. When I bought my first truck (a 94 Ranger)
I got the club cab on a whim and since then I can't do without it.

BTW, since I'm officially new here I'll give you a bit of an introduction.
I live in Upstate, NY and I ordered my 2x4 97 Dakota Club Cab SLT in the
end of January. I'm expecting it to arrive at the dealer tonight or
tomorrow. I can wait until this truck comes in:D

I did get the sure-grip and I believe it was right around $150 (maybe a
little less) Given the weather here I figured that that had to be better
than nothing for snow:)
