    I want to buy a new SUV/truck soon (recommendations?)

    Hey.
    I want something with a lot of power, that has 4x4 and also comes in Standard transmission.

    I am looking at the Grand Cherokee Laredo Hemi but it doesn't come in standard... which isn't that big of a deal I guess but I really prefer a stick.
    Anyone have any nice trucks kicking around?

    I am also a huge fan of the Dodge Ram Hemi. I just want something trail CAPABLE if the time came. I don't plan on trailing it often or anything. Just a mountain truck so I can go snowboarding whenever I feel like it and not worry about slippage etc.

    Thanks.

    The new Grand Cherokee seems to have a ton of power, you will appreciate an automatic when you're stuck in stop and go traffic ;)

      Only reason I am considering it really is because I am driving on the 5 a lot lately and it is taxing on a clutch.

        I used to drive to downtown Toronto everyday in the horrible stop and go traffic in my 5.0L Mustang with stick. That was very painful ;)

                  if you want a "truck" the last one you buy is a dodge, there is a reason the F series Ford has been the best selling truck for 27 years consecutively, I mean Ford only sold 935,000+ F series trucks in 04'. Dodge?

                    Yeah I hear that a lot... the new Fords look amazingly tough too. I see a lot of them around here.

                        Dodge is the way to go. The F-150 is the shizznit.

                          F series = Ford.

                            Dodge is so far behind Ford and Chevy, its a wonder they didnt drop their V10 sooner. You're clueless

                                that sounds pretty sweet.

                                  Yukon Denali, the only thing I hate about it is the $$ I spend on gas.

                                  Its tough and built very well. I don't know if they have them in standard.
