1500 is all you need. 2500 is cheaper for lift kits..etc..but is gonaa be a litle worse on mPG's.
2500 is more of a work truck.
Diesel is not needed for a daily driver. i would only get a diesel for towing heavy things long haul. Otherwise, it's a waste of money and they are expensive to work on. Not to mention the added expense of something you don't need.

Yeah this is so true. I have a little nissan 240 for a little while when the honda ricer boom happened at the first of the decade. It had the same four banger as the nissan hardbodys>(2.4l sohc)
It would bury the needle at 120 time and time again easliy and would not slow down there. Neat little car but still a car......

4 Bangers are amazing, never disrespectful them, but like I posted before, would I be able to get a Dodge to look like this? I'm assuming I can, but it would cost a little more money doing it myself. Then again, what's the point in buying a truck that has everything already done to it? There's no fun in that. But like I said, this is the kind of truck I like.

How much should I look into putting into a truck to get it to look anywhere near like that? Minus the matte black paint. I was thinking of buying a cheaper Dodge from a 99 to a 2004 and doing something along those lines to it, not sure yet though.
