Re: Quality
Quality is often in the eye of the beholder. What I may consider a mark of quality in an item may not be for another persons needs or uses. That being said, CR surveys have a tendency to be severely skewed. They never publish the number of surveys they got from users. So if they get 10 surveys in and 6 have bad comments, then that particular vehicle will be deemed "unreliable". Take the same 6 bad surveys in a pool of 1000 and you now have a "reliable" vehicle with anecdotal issues. FWIW, in my neck of the woods (eastern Canada), I see a lot of the big 3 pick-ups, and most are not rusted out. Unless it's 15+ years old with obvious commercial use.352Views0likes0CommentsRe: Speechless!

Their 26' looks quite a bit bigger than that. snip He is likely closer to being within his ratings than many of the people who tow big TT with 150/1500 trucks. Speaking of which. Over the weekend, I saw next to my campsite, a Keystone Sprinter 5th with a GVWR around 14k. the TV was a RAM 1500 longhorn HEMI. Need I say more ?305Views0likes0CommentsRe: Newbie Couple Purchase

OP should have a hard look at half-tons.604Views0likes0CommentsRe: Pulling with half ton!

So far I plan to camp nearby (I live near the rockies) and won't pull long distances but that's only a short term solution. snip The Ram will make towing soooo much more fun and a good daily driver too ! Mine does both TV and DD. And since you're close to the Rockies, it is safe to assume you will go there and enjoy the scenery. The Avalanche will not make for pleasant trips in there, the Ram will.305Views0likes0Comments
