Marc,
As a contractor I have no choice but to drive a full size heavy duty truck.
I hate them and can't imagine why anyone would choose to drive one if they
didn't have to. My frustration is that with the popularity of poser trucks,
I have one heck of a time finding a truck sutible for actual work. All the
dealers carry are short-bed extended cab 4x4's with carpeting and plush
interiors. Useless as a work truck.
