I was going to go with a MDT when we needed something to pull over 20k. Loved the ones we test drove, all new models. What kept me from buying was registration and insurance issues. Registration was rediculous and I would have had to seek out a different insurance company to insure. Luckily for us, we found a adequate conventional pickup that could handle our needs at a far, far lower cost of ownership. Others are right though, most of the MDT ride rough, especially unladened or without expensive mods.
