I love my truck....crew cab is a must for me. There are times I get extra horse feed & keep it in the back seat until my containers are empty. Have also loaded bales of hay into the back seat when I was hauling a huge load & lost a couple of bales. Easier to throw them inside than restack on the side of the highway. Having a huge horse & huge horse trailer I needed a V-8 for power & obviously 4x4 for snow. I was lucky back in 2007 to find a 2 year old truck with only 30,000 miles. It only has just over 125,000 now. My good looking truck now has rusted out wheelwells & really looks like the farm truck it is.....but love the way it handles. I drove a friend's almost new GM truck & the steering was sloppy compared to mine. I drive really windy roads through the Ky River palasaides so steering is critical too. I keep thinking about getting a newer truck. Probably won't until this one completely dies.

Hope you find a good replacement. The cost if new does give sticker shock.

Lol....I nailed a parallel parking on the first try on our town's main street with cars waiting behind me. Lol....I should have taken a bow when I got out of my truck after parking it Trucks are so easy to drive though I get comments about driving such a big truck when I am just over 5 ft tall.....but NO ONE messes with me even on the road. I have had sports cars but honestly my truck is my favorite vehicle especially when I have a steep driveway to the barn & we just had 3 inches of ice with 3 inches of snow on top. Lol....even the tractor couldn't make it up the driveway & my truck could.
