As far as American trucks go for me, my 1995 Chevy K1500 does anything I ask it to, from hauling firewood and cubs to pulling a trailer loaded with ford tractors, cubs, firewood, or gravel. My Dad has a 1998 Dodge Dakota that he has had very few problems with, and has no problem with having a Cub in the bed and a Ford tractor on the trailer behind it. Thats about 400 pounds in the bed and 3600 pounds behind it, with no trailer brakes. My Dad was a US Marine, so it is kind of a rule that we buy American.
