Neither is better, that is an entirely subjective question. The difference between two well-used trucks in your price range is greater than the difference between the two brands.
Great to hear!

The good news is that I won't be doing anything with the race car until next season - she's out of commission due to an accident. I'll pick up the trailer with the X5 - I feel confortable doing this considering I'll only be towing 4,200lbs with a Hensley (I'm also only about 100 miles from the manufacturer). No matter how you cut it, I'll be legal. I'll use the X5 to bring the trailer to my garage where I'll store it until next spring.

In the mean time, I'm going to go around and test drive a bunch of different 3/4 ton trucks (i.e. brands, setups, etc.) and see what I like best. Then, I'll pick something up in the spring and go from there. That's nice because I'll have a good 7 months to save up a little money.

Sound like a good plan?
