sigh....I'm aware of some of the Ford shortcomings because my cousin has a 99 F150. How about the Dodge hemi's? I got the 2000 because i have a family and it was a pain getting the kids in the back of the 95 with no rear doors. i have owned a multitude of 73-80 Chevy's in my lifetime, 1/2 tons, 3'4 tons, pickups , Blazers , and a Suburban. And also my 95 K1500 ext cab (that I kick myself for selling now) and I have never been disappointed with any of them up till now with this 2000 4.8 Silverado. Maybe I will start looking for a clean used 98-99 Vortec 5.7 I just want a decent newer modern pickup truck
