    You should color match the rig to the boat so people know that the boat was painted that way on purpose, and that it hasn't been vandalized. (messing with you Bill)

    Anyway.... among the things in my price range, I could live with an Excursion, a 250SD, or a 350. Whatever I get will be "cab heavy," I already have a 1/2 ton pickup for Saturday chores and Home Depot runs. It's a 94 Sierra that has been paid off for many years....(125,000 miles) and I have maintained it well.
    Got it ready for winter this weekend. New tires, oil change, coolant check, wiper blades and a wash.
    This is probably an argument for the Excursion or at least a crew cab.

    Longer the wheel base, better the ride and less prone to a jack knife.

    Not really. May not follow aroud as quick as a shorter truck, but if you're in a tight place a small pull ahead will straighten it out quicker. Keep in mind with a longer trailer like yours, you won't be chasing it like a shorter trailer.

    I use my Crew cab short bed F250 as a daily driver (at least in the winter) and maneuverability is not an issue. Just can't pull into parking spots, backing in is easier and also easier to get out that way too.

    The GM trucks seem to have a better turning radius than the Fords.
