If you wanted an off-road/rock crawling or desert riding truck, which one from these would you pick?

Points to note.
Dodge Ram 2500 Rebel
>6.4L Hemi V8
>Made of steel
>A bit on the heavier side.

Ford F150 Raptor
>5.5L EcoBoost V6
>Made of aluminum
>Lighter and more fuel efficient

Both looks muscular enough and excels well on the task it's made for.

So what's your pick?

Has anybody owned an elise? Everybody i talk to says they are great on the track. Always wanted one and I think I'm at the point where I can afford one. Really excited. There are a few on my local autotrader I'm planning on checking out. But really I'll probably ask somebody to go with me, don't know what to look for. Red I think is too flashy, maybe silver? Either way, as long as it runs and isn't beat on. Also might look at earlier lotus, but eh, I like the Elise. Keep true to my goal lol. Elise or hell an exige if i can find one. Really the exige is harder to find and usually way more expensive. But what are you gonna do? As long as they are in demand the price will reflect it. I don't mind. That's life.

What are some cars that are similar to the 86? Especially in handling. Rear-wheel drive preferred.

Hi /o/, quick question, should a gear "click" into place in a manual? Just bought a 2002 WRX (Oh no, muh reliability, muh boy racer car), and the transmission shifts fine. No clunking, no grinding, no slipping or popping into neutral and the clutch works great, but I can physically feel the shifter locking into each gear. Is that normal? This is the 5th manual car I've owned so it's nothing new, and I know it's not my driving, but I've had several cars do the same thing. My Prelude, Mazda 3 and Camaro all shifted smoothly into gear, without any feeling whatsoever. My GTI and now WRX both seem to "click" (without making a noise) into gear, so it feels more connected, but I was wondering if that's a bad sign. My GTI had the same transmission/clutch for the 30k miles I owned it, and never once had a problem, it just didn't smoothly lock into gear. Should I have it checked out? Thank you.

My car has not jacking point in the front, but I want to put a jack stand under both sides. I've read that you can use the car subframe, but I'm scared of demolishing something.
What is the proper way to raise both sides of a car using a jack when there is no center point?
