Going to look at a truck this afternoon; the website says that the truck is of Canadian origin; any issues - potential down the road problems because some emissions requirement is different from some US emissions requirement, or something like that?
-----------------
Okay, the wife insists I replace my van this weekend with a truck. Can't replace it with another van, because they dropped the tow capacity down to 1000 pounds.
*Often tow a 3500 pound boat in the summer
*2-3 times a month, 2000 pound loads (grain, coal)
*Slippery roads are common, edge of the snow belt in Western NY; 4x4 preferred
*it would be nice to be able to haul larger loads of hay, say, 8000 pounds
*regularly get things like plywood, drywall, etc., and regularly haul kayaks, so I'd prefer not having a short bed
*massive amounts of salt on the road in the winter, so, sorry, no Dodge - everyone around here says they rust out too quickly - I'd try to get another year out of my van, (grand caravan), but it has holes rusting through.
Recommendations?
