looking for recomendations on a replacment. I need reliable longterm transportation to get me to work and that has better MPG than what I have.

need to keep all the options the prior one had but not sure about sticking with dodge fullsize or going with dakota or another make/model.

really need a larger back seat to hold my sons who are now bigger than me. No way am I sitting in the back... unless its with my wife.
would be nice to be chaufferred around in my own truck...

it needs to have atleast the 6' bed so that I can toss my aluminum rowboat in it (and the 8+trash barrels every month when I do my trash and/or my folks trash run.

been considering a quad dakota



heres what I posted on <that other site with the lists for stuff>


low miles
4x4
15mpg city 18mpg highway or better
short bed
4doors
space for 2 adults in the back seat
front bench seat
power windows/doors/mirrors
no damage.
good to excellent condition.
around 20K

All of the above - I have a good condition 2004 F150 for less money, with more miles, 4 doors, full cap, and a Ford extended warranty up to 4 years / 100K miles. I'm going to be listing it for sale again soon. I drive mostly to work with it, 80M round trip per day, and need something economical

60K miles <18K

I don't believe Dodge has done much to improve the horrendous mileage issues that even the mid size Dakotas/Durangos had
