Sliding is the only way to go.

I like my sliding window. If Im hauling long lumber I can shove some through the window so there isnt as much over the tailgate. Plus on those "rough night" parties it makes great ventilation without getting too cold inside

I have my new $20 2007 ranger solid window sitting in a box awaiting a tint job. I effing hate my slider that i have to cram hot wheel cardboard into the jamb to make the vibraing/shaking go away.

It depends how often you will use the sliding feature. If your never going to use it whats the point in having it?

thats what i was thinking. i never really used my slider. i dont put wood in the back of my truck, thats what my dads is for.

thanks to everyone who voted. most people picked slider, so im going with solid. the reason why, is because most of you probably have slider, and i want mine to be different. i dont use the function of the slider so thats just one more reason to switch.
