Last year at about this time, my wife and I rented a Northern Lite TC on a brand-new Ford F350 SRW diesel from CanaDream in Calgary AB. After a few days in the Canadian Rockies, we knew what we liked about the rig and what we didn't.
After we returned home, now knowing what we wanted, I found a 2002 Dodge dually diesel with 18,000 miles and a 2002 Northern Lite 10-2 CD on craigslist. We flew from Denver to Spokane and drove back in our "new" rig. We are happy with the purchase. In fact, we like a number of features of our Northern Lite better than the new ones we have looked at.
If the OP would like to try out a TC (and pickup) as we did, I think it would answer a lot of his (and his wife's) questions. Bravelion, if you want to PM me, I'd be happy to answer questions about our rental experience.
