Pickup Truck advice, Dodge vs. Chevy
Hey all. I've been driving S-10 style trucks for a few yrs now, and am getting ready to sell my little GMC Sonoma and get a full size 1/2 ton, 4x4, extended cab. For various reasons, I'm not into Fords, but cannot make up my mind between the Dodge and the Chevy / GMC.
Maybe some of you guys who know both will feel like giving me a few positives and negatives. I'll add here a little about what I'll be using it for. I'll mostly be using it as a second vehicle for camping, going on vacations, etc. If I do any pulling, it would be a small motorcycle trailer. Occasional 4wd, not hard mudding. I'd consider a 3/4 ton, but mainly prefer 1/2 ton. I'd like to get a small to medium V8, definitely not the large V8. I'll be looking at something between years 2000 - 2006, in the $10 - 12k range. The things that I'm wondering about, and that are important to me ... do either of the brands mentioned have less of a tendency to get body rust when exposed to winter weather and salt? Does either of them have a particular engine which is known to have better reliability and/or fuel economy? I've mostly had GM products in my lifetime, but I did have a '78 Dodge half ton with a 318, and it was a great truck. I like the newer Dodge, but it seems I see more of them rusted on the road. I'm just starting to do the research, so I thought I'd throw it out here ... any info / suggestions regarding Dodge vs. Chevy would be greatly appreciated. JT

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
