At first, it had to be an actual truck, but she has soft and her stance on that issue. Has to be four-wheel-drive though. And has to get over 20 miles per gallon, which is why full-size trucks are out. You can preach to me all day about full-size trucks getting more than 20 miles per gallon and I don't care. It's a lie. Besides, she's been driving the suburban for the last two weeks and has decided she does not want a full-size truck. I prefer it to be a manual as I have a tendency to keep my vehicles for a very long time and I'm not interested in replacing a $2500 transmission. If you know how to drive a manual, you know that four-wheel-drive is much easier to control with a manual transmission.
