     I can't tell you all the specifics, because I don't know them, but
     here's my 1/2 cent on the truck thing.  (By the way, I too, will
     hopefully be truck shopping sometime in the future, so I enjoy these
     discussions greatly).

     My Dad bought a 97/98? Chevy 4x4 4-door diesel truck.  We haul cows in
     a 25 foot stock trailer.  Road conditions are not always the best,
     having a farm that's only road in or out is 5 miles of Alabama clay.
     Within 6 months something was wrong with the truck, and eventually
     they replaced the entire engine.  3 months from then, they again
     replaced the engine with yet another one.  Since then, as far as I
     know, the truck has been fine.  It is incredibly comfortable to ride
     in (having four doors and a real seat is a treat for a girl who grew
     up squished 4 abreast in the cab of the truck as we sloshed through
     the mud - not to mention push button 4wd, no more getting out in above
     mud to lock the wheels in), and it hauls well when it works.  But my
     Dad is now swearing he's trading it in for a Dodge or a Ford...

     For what it's worth...
