This surprises me. What is it about 4 door pickups that y'all dislike? I ask because I've recently been considering selling my regular cab truck and getting a 4 door. I need more space for passengers and/or dogs.

IMHO it all depends on what you need a p/u for. There are all sorts of configurations offered but it seems a dedicated utility p/u is becoming a thing of the past(think F250 w/4x4 and T-18 type transmission). I kind of inherited a '99 Ram 1500 4x4 w/extended cab,6 1/2' bed,auto trans,l/s rear,391 gears,and 6" lift. If it wasn't for the extended cab and a motor that requires high test gas it would be perfect for me IF I needed it.

It was the 2000 Dakota Quad Cab that switched me over to 4 door pickups forever. The shorter bed was fine for most of the cargo moving I needed to do. But they aren't great for all the chores, so I purchased a utility trailer long ago, added sides, a landscape gate, and now it's all covered.
