Default Decision Time

I have found some good deals, and I decided I want another truck...I am a huge Trans Am fan,but the weather out here has been **** lately, and an f-body won't cut it...please do not tell me to get a beater either college=no money...I only want one car, and I decided I am gonna upgrade my current ride...So here it is...00-06 body style Tahoe, or 02-06 body style Dodge Ram 1500? The Tahoe would be the 5.3 motor, and the Ram would be the 4.7...I am not looking for huge power right now, just something huge and loud...either one would eventually be lifted...let me hear your input...

Go with the Tahoe, don't care for rams, especially with the 4.7. At least you'll still be Gen III on the Tahoe.

Tahoe. I' m a die-hard Chevy fan though, and that 5.3 is a hell of a lot more fun than Dodge' s 4.7! It kinda depends on want you want though, larger enclosed cargo area, or do you want to be able to haul more ****?
