Looking at a new tow rig - Last minute opinions?

The thing about vehicles you never know when one's going to go let you down.

Lot's of truth to this. I've had new vehicles puke out on me. The thing is, as the vehicle gets older I tend to think about things like "mean time between failure" of various components - especially those that are known to go bad on a regular basis. (I'm looking at YOU '05 Chevrolet transmission...)

That and the rust on the bottom of the door panels... ;)

I have to say I went into this reluctantly but I'm pretty happy about my purchase. I'm looking forward to finding places to stash all my stuff... (spare light bulbs, hitch pins, ratchet straps, work gloves, etc).
 
Congrats on the new rig!! If you are looking for a full size suv you got what I would get.

Anybody else wonder why Ram hasn't tapped the market on a full size SUV? They and us Ram fanboys are missing out!
