You'll have better resale with 14.6 and 46 IMO.
Thanks, most kindly. Since I'll be looking out for an used truck to start with ( as I don't have the money for a brand new one ), it would definitely take me some time to get a truck as per my required specs, within my tentative budget. However, I'm in no hurry...I've given myself about 12-18 months to set all my ducks in a row.
Here's a thought though....if I'm unable to find an used truck of the above specs, how feasible ( both financially and practically ) would it be to buy something somewhat similar, and then make the necessary modifications ?
