With my Dakota pretty much dead, plus the parents not trusting it as a reliable mode of transport, I've talked them splitting the cost of a newer truck. (First time they are paying for anything auto related for me, YAY)
Anyways, I'm kinda stuck. I really like the Dakotas. The idea of a mid-sized truck is really appealing to me. But, at the same time I have hear some questions were raised about reliability.
Next up is the Silverado, K1500 or GMC Sierra. I love the fact its a GM, love the looks. Don't like the fact its a full-sized truck, but I think I can go over that.
Anyone with experience dealing with these trucks? Opinions? Thoughts?
Budget is 6k-10k, depending on how much money I feel like taking away from my Camaro re-build fund.

And it must be a 4x4. I'm sick of fish tailing in the snow.
