/o/, we have a mission: we need to try to pick out a pickup truck which can moonlight by having a ladder rack and truck boxes mounted to it, workin' and towin', but on the weekend those come off and I can take her trailin', muddin', off-roadin', rallyin', driftin', whatever the fuck i can fun truck.

Considerations:

I know these setups will require part swaps based on activity, such as different suspensions, mud tires, at tires, snow tires, disposable tires for drifitn'.

must pass colorado emissions every so often.
id like to somewhat hide my power level around town, so nothing TOO crazy.
4wd/awd
id like it to maintain a somewhat reasonable mpg, why diesel came to mind.
total stretch i think, but can a dually fit this bill?
id think ideally this could be a truck & engine with lots of aftermarket parts for me to play around with upgrading it.
i'm not shying away from automatic/manual or gas/diesel.

xcab colorado with the 5.3, 4x4

rip out the garbage 4l60e and swap to 4l80e

supercharge

throw air bags on it, drop for towing and lift for off road

It won't be reliable but it'll be versatile.

Also mod for paddle shifting. You'll have to put in a new steering wheel.

>Using apostrophes instead of just typing the g

Kill yourself.

>Drifting in a dually

The whole point of a dually is to increase the payload and towing, partially because of the increased traction of having two extra tires contacting the road. Again, kill yourself.

>Off roading in a dually

Maybe gravel roads, and while true off roading can be done I guess, the extra width of he rear end can get dented up by trees and shit. Wanting to off road in a diesel is yet another reason why you should kill yourself.

>Rallying in a pickup truck, let alone a dually

Please, give yourself a Kurt Cobain haircut

he wants $3500 for it

offer him $3000 and have it towed to a shop and pay them $10,000 to go through the engine suspension transmission and add a cage

then buy a set of paddle tires for the snow and do hillclimbs
>>
You're a fucking moron, buy two vehicles. That is if you're even out of school yet.
>>
the only benefit to a dually is when you get the weight over the axles get a srw 3500 or 2500

Yes

"We" don't have a mission to find a truck for you. Hopefully you go on a mission to Africa and don't come back.

I dd a dually, drift it when it rains, hoon on it, I've offroaded with it, it's a 7.3 international with a banks turbo.

probably one of the most fun vehicles I've ever owned, and it gets 18 mpg. Nothing but total hilarity, but be wary - everyone that you talk to about it will be inconsolably perturbed. Be prepare to deal with a lot of "hyurr durr ur dum for liking thing"

>>14128013
What sort of offroading have you done? I'm genuinely curious, not trying to poke fun or anything.
