Okay, well i got some time to think about this and all... but im kinda stuck on choosing a first vehicle. Im between a Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Ram 1500... Wranger year im not sure of, Ram year '96-'99 is what my range is. Im sorta really leaning to the Ram since i need to do some towing and its no small stuff, its 1000+lbs at the lightest. Most umm pushing 6,000lbs. Jeep well i cant really tow with it unless i want to run off the road. But yeah, should i do the Ram?

Since you're going to be towing definitely go with the ram.

Defiantly go with the RAM. We have a wrangler and the only thing that is meant to be put on that hitch is a bike rack or one of those small cargo rack things.

Go with a Chevy silverado 1500. They are super reliable. Plus I can't stand the look of Dodge's.

If you want to tow, go with the Dodge.
If you look outside Dodge and Jeep however, I have a 99 F150 and can tow 8500lbs. We tow ~2000lbs frequently and it doesn't even change the gas mileage, you barely notice its on the truck. I do have the 5.4l V8 though. I'm not sure what your price range is, but you could find a good truck for about $7500.
