I think the fancy shocks and lockers make it far more interesting then the TAco. My last three trucks were Toyotas and to tell you the truth none of them were anything special regarding durability or longevity. My current 05 Sequoia is the first one that hasnt needed major rebuilds to correct wonky Toyota engineering. GMs stuff today is doing solid stuff.
There are very good reasons to own a midsized as are a full sized. In my area of 1.2 million $ 1940's 1600sqft Ranchers there is no parking wide enough around town or even at home for a full sized. Which also means most of those guys dont have big trailers either. Shoot the electricians are all driving Ford small transit vans because parking at jobs can be impossible for anything bigger than a Camry.
As for price. The way I see it a 6cylinder Subaru wagon will set you back just shy of 40k today. The midsized 4dr trucks with heavier capability and more costly running gear being 40k doesnt surprise me one bit.
