Default Almost traded in my 06 DAK with 700 miles on it

Almost,still debating.

The main thing is the Dealer, major jerk here in Syracuse,NY. THe Dak has 5 paint flaws, which they will fix under warranty. One they won't says it was chipped when driving. Clearly the spot is raised ,but no dice.
Anyway I test drove a Chevy silverado. Th ride does not compare, the Silverado is too bouncy, almost got somewhat sick, as compared to the DAK. Interior does not seem as nice as the DAK either. So I may keep the DAK, fix the paint flaws, and NEVER go to that dealer in Syracuse again.

Thanks Stash

I know I'm going to be bitched at here by some but if you haven’t already test drove the Tundra, you might want to. I think the Dak looks better but as far as ride and out and out quality and price point factor the Tundra is a better deal all around. Reliability, build quality (QC) all hands down a better truck. If I wasn't an idiot and took advantage of a sales deal at Dodge I would had been in the Tundra and like everyone I know including my brother in law on his second, they absolutely love these trucks.

Do their engines stall out on a regular basis and can they go up a small incline in the road without having to be dropped down a gear?
