Yes, I do love my '05, Chevy D/A, Ext.cab 8' bed 4X4! Just turned 6 mo's old and 11K on the odometer. I must admit I'd love the quadra-steer option for tight turn manuevers. My driveway which is over 100 Yds., long twisted and very narrow is a bit of a chore to back down. The entire length is on a rather steep incline....just like most launch ramps.....so you get the picture. On top of that, there are several 2'X2' masonry lightposts that are hazardous.
I always need a spotter, and once when the admiral was busy, did it solo, I thought I cleared one....nope, it reached out and bit me....ouch!!!
If I had my way, I'd tow it behind a 42' class'A' Diesel pusher Motorhome, but uhhh, cash flow prevents that!
As does the length limit law of most states!
I still use my old '86 F-250, Turbo-Diesel, Standard cab, which is as adept at towing over hill and dale like a breeze also....but the extra interior space makes all the hassles worth it in the Chevy.
Bigger is better in many ways for safety's sake, but all things being equal, if your vehicle is up to the task spec. wise, and you are happy with it's performance, that's what really matters!
You'd think a Ford Crown Victoria would be up to the task, but even though they make a hitch for it, my specs tell me I cannot tow with Mac's specs! Then of course the Ford Escort, and my Suzuki Samurai, are out of the picture also. Two, out of the five, in my stable isn't bad though!
on the inside!
