Don't take this the wrong way ( I would state the same thing to a guy) BUT you are just a TRUCKSLUT I think you would drive anything as long as it was big and went fast and had tires.

I'm not really into speed, size matters more to me.

How can you compare an import to an international. Completely different beasts. My old inty 1300 UT was a fine truck. That you could faily compare to a Ford, Dodge or GM. International stopped making smaller trucks. If you want to compare International then you forgot Freightliner, Sterling, Peterbuilt, Volvo, etc. and of coarse my fav. MACK.

Driving a Mack truck is like sleeping with sheep, it feels good until someone catches you doing it.

I seem to remember a joke like that regarding those short shaped hard pack skis recently....
something about being fun until you look down.....

By the way, my '82 VW Rabbit pickup rocks. Diesel, front-wheel drive, decent payload capacity....

My friend had a pea-green Rabbit pickup that he bought for $25. That thing would go anywhere and it was just a cool little truck. Then, one night, all the ice slid off the porch roof and crushed the cab.

"My friend had a pea-green Rabbit pickup"

No accounting for taste, I guess.

Oh, it was certainly ugly. There is no place for aesthetics in a $25 truck purchase. There was no rust though. It was a solid, ugly paint job.
