Hemi or ssei?
Just curious as to who would win 0 to 60, me or my father in laws Hemi 2500? He actually wants to sell it for a cummins turbo diesel dually. I may buy it, it'* a 2004 with only 11k miles on it.

No:
1. gas mileage is horrible
2. not as much interior space
3. it'll roll easier
4. no boost?
Yes:
1. Bigger tires, 4wd.
2. There'* a bed.
3. it can handle offroad terrain better than a bonnie
4. bigger engine, there'* some mods out there but not alot
Overall, I'd go no. Yeah, sure there'* lots of good points to a pickup, but IMHO, a Bonneville is alot nicer exterior and interior wise, though very much different, it'* better imo.
Stick with what you got.

I say if you got the bucks and if you really like it, go for it, it'll be fun to have a truck. I actually want a truck myself but my car is fine and have no reason to get rid of it now.
Depends really on what you're planning on using it for. If as a daily (everyday) driver, no don't get it, it'* highly impractical, just get a shortbed quad cab in half ton version with 2wd (less restrictive and better gas mileage) and have fun.
