yea, thats one of the main reasons I dont like my single cab. I have a
big tool box in the back though. Been thinking about getting one of
those hard cover deals that lock, you can keep stuff in it then.

'96 Dodge Dakota v8 extended cab, purchase price $16k in '99. 190k miles on it

You ever spend much time driving a single cab pickup? The biggest problem is that theres no place to put stuff that can't live in the bed. We take the Dakota to camp where its the primary mover off stuff, we also use it to haul snowmobiles around. The problem with a single cab is theres nowhere to put your luggage. The Dakota regularly gets around 18mpg which is interestingly the same as my friends with v6 Dakota's report.
I know, real men only need an overnight bag but the wife wants clothes for
every condition and I can't imagine if we had kids.
That said the Dakota replacement is likely to be a fullsize single cab with a cap tall enough to fit snowmobiles under. The newer fullsize singlecabs get decent mileage.
If I can find one for a reasonable price I'll get a little Toyota but that'd
have to be an extended cab, not enough space in the bed for a snowmobile and
luggage...

I just gotta ask,
What do you guys "need" these huge expensive trucks for? I feel
trucks were intended to be used for work. Trucks with back seats cost
more to purchase and run, lengthen wheelbase resulting in lousy
turning radii and were intended to haul your tools, equipment,
materials and work crew.
