Well actually, it's not strictly for bowhunting but it will be used for that too. What I need is a new or newer mid-sized 4wd truck that can take my family of 4 around town, me to the forest, deer back to the house, and a 2500lb pontoon to and from the river. I need a mid-sized truck because less than 20mpg hwy is unacceptable. It also has to be a V6 with manual transmission. I need to be able to fit 2 car seats for my 4yr old boyand 2month old baby girl. Price has to be under 30k.

Now sell me your truck.

And when you do, you have to convince me it's better than anything else on the market. I wont buy your truck simply because you're die-hard Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Nissan, Toyota, whatever. Tell me why it's better than the other guys. Give me horsepower or torque figures, give me price advantage, give me reliability margin over other trucks, quality construction, rigidity, give me resale value, etc. etc.

Thanks in advance.
