WWJD you can tell me what to get, I don't mind it's okay. I may not like it but I'll consider it.

Got Hemi the boat weighs about 5-6000 lbs I'm going to guess. My parents are pitching in 1/2 to 3/4s of the price of the truck depending how much it is, I'm making monthly payments to them each month on how much would be left to pay off the truck. I make about 800.00 a month working part time or more depending how many hours I get. I'm not quite sure how much I want to spend yet, it basically depends on what really catches my eye.

Hey man, for what I have read a gasser will fulfill your needs perfectly. I have a 04 ram 1500 and do allot of the same stuff you do. I also live in Canada, over in B.C. and have similer weather. I haul a 7,000 boat 3-4 times a year. haul around quads and toys all the time. Its up to you what year ya want. From 02-05 the trucks had the samller headlights and different interior. in 03 i think it was they introduced the Hemi so you want something at least that new. 06 was the bigger headlights and introduced the MDS which will save you gas milage.

Take a look at this, it was on for 29,995 but we have some retarded deals on right now. we took er down to 19,995

Some of those trucks look a bit expensive, but a couple of them are around my price range.

Ya just depends on what ya want right. if ya wanna go a lil older, like maybe 04 you can get em for 18 or so. Depends on what your puttin down but you payments will be around $400 a month.

I like this one a whole lot.

Just remember that link about dealing with car dealers on the first page.

As far as my age, I am 24 and know about how cops see a flashy truck verse a conservative one.

I don't know what this is expensive or not in Canada. Most the trucks i looked at seemed to be 5-6k more than the u.s.
