How to job rate a truck

I think you will find that most of the posts here will say bigger is better. This is true but you also have to live with the beast.

My half ton is maxed out with a 5000 lb. trailer once we are loaded for the road. However the rest of the year I enjoy the ride and improved gas mileage over a larger truck.

If I had to list the features I look for they would be;
• Max Cargo, which varies with model and acsessories.
• Horse power.
• Towing package with all the coolers and gearing.
• 4 wheel drive because of the places I sometimes go.

These are my criteria, everyone has their own based on their personal preferences.

In the 1940s & 50s, Dodge coined the term "job rated" and designated their 1/2 ton and up trucks "Job Rated" and had emblems on them showing that. Very cool trucks.

Must be one of those "Experienced" guys...
