Well, It's Karin's truck, so probably not too much.  It will be the
"family truck" though, so chances are it will be called upon to go down
remote dirt trails to campsites, haul the off-road motorbikes and
camper, etc.  My truck will get the heavy-lifting jobs, and will be the
primary source of off-road entertainment.  I might keep my 1500 around
for that, as the 2500 has significantly less chassis/suspension flex.

Just after I impulsively bought my 1500, I found a 2500 Cummins Quad-Cab
LWB Dually for $1k more than what I paid.  I regret nothing I've ever
done, but man, I came close when I saw that...
