    D/Cs don't look as good as a R/C or an A/C .... but they are very useful to carry extra people or things.

    Very nice truck.

    The double is really nice for family and cargo room and that is more important than looks to some people.

    Can't fit a car seat if you don't have 4 doors and you can't go hunting in a minivan, so that is why 4 door trucks are so popular!

    I think the DC looks best. It's what I wanted when I was looking for one, but had to get what came along cuz I sold my car and was vehicle-less...but I'm very happy with my A/C.

    I save gas by not driving my friends around. When its time to go out to lunch at work its never my gas money! Access FTW! Plus I didnt wanna pay the extra for a longer bed cause the short bed is kinda ugly.
