- No way. I'm not so much opposed to the foreign trucks as I am the
- wimp sized ones (that would include s-10's & rangers). Just show me a
- small truck that I can carry me, my wife, 3 kids, dog (in a kennel),
- and camping gear in. It doesn't exist!
-
- Well, I can't argue with you here... I've got one less kid and one
- more dog than you (but the second dog is pretty small), and they all
- ride in the cab of my wimp-size Toyota pickup.
-
- Also, IMHO, buying a truck without the extra seat in the back (forget
- those stupid side jump seats) is just plain short-sighted. That
- effectively eliminates all but Chevys, Fords, and Dodges. IMHO, the
- room in the back of a Dodge is too small (almost as bad as a small
- truck), so they are out too. That leaves you with Chevys & Fords. I
- have owned Fords my whole life, and they are solid. But currently,
- the Chevy's just plain look better.

- Some information... among the wimp-sized trucks, you can get
- forward-facing seats in the Isuzu and Toyota; in the
- one-size-up-from-wimp ranks, you can also get them in the Dodge
- Dakota. Of course, my eight year old son has started to complain
- about legroom in the back...
-
- I hear the new Dodge full-size pickup -- due out in the spring or
- summer -- is going to have styling that's as radical as the new
- Chrysler cars. People have compared them to anteater-snout Kenworths.
