My big bad ford (1995 F350 Crew Cab 4X4) blew the transmission or clutch or who knows what but I decided to part with her, for what I considered a fair price for an underivable beast ! I was quite in love with it but when I was actually using it it was less love and more work ! plus the thing was wholly useless in the city and my travel trailer is 2200 lbs loaded !
I started looking for a 1988-1996 F150 ext cab 2wd inline 6 - I just need the truck for a few dump runs , some yard work, occasionally picking up something the wife "needs" ! , and pulling the trailer on 50-250 km trips in the summer.
Came across a Dakota 1999 club cab V6 sport 4x4, test drove nicely , now I've looked at a 2007 crew cab with the 4.7 V8 buttery smooth and wicked acceleration !
they seam to be "soccer mom" oriented but reasonably capable (think second gen 4runner)
any thoughts or experience thanks , Kevin .
