with them? Comments? Good points? Bad points? Interested in any feedback!

My maxx needed a lot of work so I decided to sell it for parts to my
buddy. Now for my next truck I'm torn between these 2, the price
difference between them is not really an issue.
Question is what would you guys do? do you own one? what's your
