looking to purchase a new truck in the future,so im doing my homework starting now, ive have always owned ford vechiles, but never a truck. ive a 2002 Explorer xlt 4x4 that im giving my wive, since she drives it all the time. So im getting something hopefully that will keep her grubby hands off 
but the main reason is for towing,being able to move and carry large stuff, you know what i mean. Im not looking for anything fancy, but simple enough, that will get the job done.
my choice would be the 2004 Ford F150 supercab which wheelbase supposed to be 6in longer this year, i also looked at the f150 crew cab, which has the 4dr theory ,which i like but the bed is small as heck,
Since i like Fords, this Dodge Ram SLT1500 Quad cab 4x4 has caught my attention. It has the 4dr, which i like and the bed is longer than the Fords. here is where i need help, im trying to compare the two trucks but the dodge has couple different engines that i have no idea what im looking at, my question would be is there an advantage to having one over the other.
1. 5.9 v8
2.4.7 litre
3. hemi---
also have some other factor that im debating on whether to get the 4x4 or not ,since i have never used it on the Explorer, do i really need it, it will save me some $$$$ on the purchase price. but is it better to have it ,or regret later, that i wish i had got it. i dont know.
thanks for your help
