In Reply to: 30 Mile Commute (each way) - What Car/Truck??? posted by dstates on August 07, 2012 at 20:00:06:

Right now my vehicals are a 2000 Dakota pickup with the 8 cylinder, 6 would not have enough power for the towing I do. It is low enough that I can set in without needing something to stand on but not low enough for trouble getting in and out like my 98 Buick LeSaber that I have trouble getting my legs in or out once I set down. The 98 Plymouth Voyager is the most comfortable to set in and drive, the flat floor that you will not find in a car is the reason and with enough door opening that I do not have to move the seat back like in the Buick everytime I get in or out. Also setting higher I have better road view and better control. I drove 3 different Olds Ciera's for about 14 years doing 1,000 mile a week stop and go driving and no interest in going back to a car. Next vehical will be a van as both me and my wife can get in easier with the height, flat floor and enough opening of the doors to get our feet in. We are both senior citizens so that makes a big difference than if you are in the 20's or 30's. I do have a trailer hitch on the van, second van with the 3.0 and at times do pull small trailer or loads of lumber and a 4x8' sheat of plywood will fit in it but not in the bed of the truck. and the truck pots on at least half its milage pulling a tandem axle trailer. Milage is less important than comfort and not being able to haul what you want. Back in early 80's dad had good car but milage was about 12 and he thought about trading on small front wheel car for better milage but decided the difference in milage would never pay the difference in costs for the newer car. That 2000 should be good for 10 more years.
