| Will Ford have a 4 door F-150 this fall? | |

EVERYBODY except GM will have four doors standard on their full-size pickups. Both the Ford light duty (150/250) and SuperDuty (250/350) and the Dodge Ram will be standard four-door exnteded cabs (the Ram Club Cab is dropped for MY1999). Only the new-body 1999 GMC Sierra will have four doors from the General. The new Silverado will be 3 doors only, and the remaining old body models will remain as they were. |

kcram: I am guessing you are from K.C. and you drive a Ram. Where do you get the info about the 1999 Dodge line? I am shopping and have talked to dealers in Colo and Ariz and none of them have any info, that they will share, that is. Maybe they will tell what they know once their lots are empty. |

KC's my name, not my city  and yep, I have a 96 3500 Club 4x4.I'm a member of a national Dodge Ram "e-club" and we have quite a few dealers as members. All of them have mentioned the Club Cab is history, whatever stock will be built until it runs out, then the Ram extended cab will be Quad Cab only. Any dealer who won't give you info doesn't deserve your business, now or in the future. |

michaell, A few years back, a friend of mine had a '94 F-250 super cab. His girls were 13 & 15 at the time. The girls were very well behaved. He had a camper on the F-250 and would tow a small fishing boat. After one camping trip he traded the truck for a non super cab model. The problem was the girls being normal teenagers and the chatter just six inches behind his head. He just couldn't take it! So where are you going to be in a few years. How long will you be able to put up with the chatter, literally in your left ear? |

kcram, Is that an open list? I'd be real interested, especially as my 2500 is working great and I'd like to keep it that way. Don |

OK, so a full sized extended cab might work, but there are some drawbacks. On a related note, I saw a commercial for GMC trucks recently. A lady is talking about the desire for a truck for towing, etc. versus the need for a family sedan (the kids shown were probably under 10). The ad promoted the GMC extended cab pickup as a compromise. I appreciate all the comments and responses. |

Mike, You just saw the reason trucks are selling like toys at the holidays - they are being promoted as car replacements when they probably shouldn't be. Full size trucks are far from car replacements; they are heavy duty work vehicles that are worthless without a need for their capacity. It's like a single guy buying a 5 bedroom house. Yes, it's a place to live, but really unnecessary. Chevy is even trying to convince police departments to buy the 4 door Tahoe SUV since they don't make the Caprice anymore. This is FAR from a direct replacement vehicle. |
