This message is from: "Rose or Murph" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Vanessa, one thing to consider, there are a lot of good used Diesel trucks out there. When properly cared for a good diesel engine should go 250,000 miles. I have brothers who do construction, they swear by them. Lots of miles through the woods, rough terrain when giving estimates for roads. They have bought Fords in the past, but had problems with the brakes burning up, plus they did not like the noise of the Ford diesel engine They moved on to the Chevy diesels and like those better, engine is quieter, they don't have to replace the brakes as often. They claim less mechanical problems, and yes they are mechanics, very particular with their engines.

Weber" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Ok, my dream vehicle (I think), would be one which could easily pull a two horse trailer, have a back seat for 2 kids (ages 7 and 9), and space in the very back to transport some toy dogs to dog shows along with show gear and a couple of suitcases. I understand what everyone is saying about heavy duty towing - it makes sense to me. My little dogs would not do well crated in the back of a truck, especially in cold or bad weather. I used to own a Ram Van 3500 which I used for showing. I was told it could pull a trailer, but I never did it. The Ram Van finally bit the dust and hasn't been replaced. This 'perfect' vehicle might not exist, but if it does, what might it be? I only started with Chrysler because we've had a good relationship with the local company, it's not cast in stone, however.

Weber" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi, Has anyone on this list had experienced pulling a two horse trailer with either the Durango or Ram 1500? If so, could you give me your appraisal? Our au-pair totalled our car so now is the time to change things. We have a good track record with Chrysler, but would consider something else. I know I asked you about trailers a while ago, but I seem to have lost all Fjord related e-mail prior to June of last year. I am very annoyed..
