Hmm. Right now I have a 95' GMC 1/2 ton with a 350. Hard to beat the reliability of this. Starting to get some rust, so either need to handle that and keep driving, or was thinking about picking something else up that got a little better mileage. I don't drive much (8 mile round trip to work).

Always like the Dakotas but am a little shy of this 4.7 after doing some research, especially with this one being the 1st year with the engine.
