Bill,

The new Fords (97 &newer) with the V-6 or the 4.6 V-8 I can beat and
have beaten. But the ones with that new 5.4 (I think that's the right
size) I can't beat with my Dakota. I have came out on the short end of
2 of them. One a F-150 CC and the other a F-150 RC with long bed. They
move out pretty good. Haven't found a new Chevy V-8 that would run me,
but I drove one . It felt faster than my Dakota, but you can't always
go by that. It was a RR cab short bed.

Now I'm sure that if I had a regular cab instead of a heavy club cab the
story would be different. By the way, anybody know how much more a club
cab Dakota weights than a regular cab.
 
Bob
