Lately I have been getting out of the diesel scene and turning my eye to the 6spd manual 1500's and dakota's. I am finding my truck to be needed less and less as time goes by, nevertheless, it is nice having a long bed truck that gets amazing mileage. But a 4x4 truck would also be nice. So I need some input. I started looking at the 6spd V6 1500's and have not found anything suggesting those came in 4wd's, or atleast I can't find one on any for sale website (ebay, autotrader). I want a V6 since I want it to be able to pull off some good mileage numbers when unloaded, however, a 1500 6spd 4x4 seems to only come in a 4.7 V8. Now the dakota.. My brother has a 97 and it handles good but has no room at all. I went and sat in a new one today and had never been in something so perfect. It was very roomy, yet was not a "large" vehicle. Those come with the very same V6 or the same V8. So what should I get? I do about 50,000 miles a year on the highway, hardly with any load at all.. I am steering clear of automatics because all I think about is dodge's reputation with them, and a 6spd with 4wd [lo] would give me 12 gears worth so no matter what I would be able to find a gear that would work, unlike the NV4500's big jump from 3rd to 4th.. Oh and if I get rid of my dodge it will merely be going from me to my dad for some cash since he won't let me sell it cause it pulls his trailer so good >
So whats your alls input?
