Baby on the way..... maybe a regular 1500 would be better... I have seem lots of women find the height of just a 1500 high for getting into/out and such. With a baby, he may find the height a hassle with the baby. Just a thought.

it won't be their daily driver.she drives a micra,or something like it. like us,they do a lot of camping and it looks like they're thinking of getting out of a tent and off the ground.and with the baby,they need more truck.his is a single cab.i move my grandkids around in my 2500,with 2 car seats.never a problem.

The payload capacity on the power wagon is a lot lower than the rest of the 2500 models, so keep that in mind if they will be towing a travel trailer.

i doubt they will buy anything a powerwagon can't tow.he likes his vehicles simple so he'll probably end up in a 1500 slt or an outdoorsman.i'd just like for him to be in a proper truck,not something he needs to upgrade in a couple years. just my opinion,but a half ton truck is like fighting with one hand tied.they look good but their usefulness is limited.i've been there.but who's kid listens to his father anyway?
