[Sgt.Po-Po]

I need one to haul 250 pounds of bloodhounds and plenty of gear, with 4-wheel drive and enough power to get through a little snow and mud.

Haven't found anything to equal the old suburban.

I periodically haul about 500 pounds of bulky gear and a 6,000 pound trailer, including off road. When the transmission in my Chevy Tahoe started acting up, I sold it and bought a Dodge Ram 2500 pick-up (yeah, it's got a Hemi). I looked at the diesel models, but they were so much more expensive and impractical for my everyday short hop driving that I decided against going with that option.

The only regret I have in getting the Ram rather than a Ford F-250 is that the back seat is a lot smaller in the Dodge. However, the Ford I test drove was way underpowered compared to the Dodge.
