I posted this question on a LBYMforum on a financial website I subscribe to but, haven't gotten a big response to it. I'm in the research phase right now.
I have 4 yrs to decide(or at least that's the plan unless I win the lottery...LOL). I'd like to see other peoples view points of the same situation. Three things I definitely WANT A CHEVY OR GM truck, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION and 4WD! I want it for pulling, hauling and transportation. I POSITIVELY DO NOT WANT ANOTHER 700r4 TRANNY!!!!!
I currently drive a 91 ext cab 1/2tn 2wd trk with a...... blankety blank rebuilt 700r4 tranny(poorly designed for a pulling trk).
I need to weigh out these pros and cons:
Used vs. new
Crew cab vs. ext cab
1/2tn vs. heavy half vs. 3/4 tn vs. 1tn
What it might be used for:
Hauling round bale trailer full
4 - 5 people
pulling a trailer full of goats or draft horse(s)
hauling construction material
pulling trailer w/ skidsteer on
pulling trailer w/ tractor on
pulling farm implements
