I haven't ever liked Ford, but I'm liking Chevy less and less all the time and I think ford is getting better.

Ahem.
I have seen deer literally explode when hit with one of these. Then you just drive to the car wash.
Just don't get the stinger type, they will knock the deer down and it can get tangled up in the undercarriage. That happened to Gearhead Wrenching buddy.

There are getting to be a lot more smaller diesel options and turboed gas options out there that intrigue me.
All that being said, I bought a 2010 GMC With 19,000 miles on it this winter and couldn't be happier. I didn't want to drop the cash on a depreciable asset that I'm pretty hard on but it is a good pickup.
JMO on the pickups.

Jujitsu Instructor buddy is pretty please with his Chevy, it's a 4 door with the 5.3 LS based engine. He works it pretty hard too. Doesn't drive the country roads like you but his business is cutting and installing stone counter tops so besides being his daily driver he's constantly dragging a trailer around with stone slabs on it.
