Chimborazo, does your nickname come from a that of a volcano in Mexico??
Back to the ??, a good friend of mine has the dodge 3/4 ton 4x4 extended cab and my grandfather just picked up a 2002 GMC 3/4 ton 4x4 extended cab with every option available, (the onstar is pretty fun to play with).
My friends dodge was rolled when he hit a patch of ice at 75 miles an hour, he went off the road and made 3 complete rolls into a pile of rocks. The cab was smashed level with the seats, luckily they weren't wearing their seatbelts or they'd be a few inches shorter. The truck landed on it's tires, all tires where blown off, the truck started right up and you could still open all 4 of the doors, The truck was totaled but seemed to protect what it needed to.
I drove my grandfathers new truck 130 miles from the dealer to his house, the new GMC's ride like a cadilac, totaly plush, quite, lot's of power. In this area that I live in is dominated by farming and dairies. You see the dodges being used as work trucks and the GMC/chevys being used as the around town trucks. I think it comes down to what you plan on doing with them.
