hello everyone
i've had a compact pickup in one configuration or another for the last 20 years or so (man, i'm getting old!) and while it is hard for me to think beyond my comfort zone, as the kids grow older and take up more space, i'm considering moving away from the Toyota to something larger.
anyhow, i don't want to turn this into a thread about me but instead want to focus on people who have wisdom to share on this transition. i've seen plenty of examples of nostalgia for the smaller platforms (e.g. wish i hadn't sold it, etc) or what they like about the larger one (lots of that) but not a thread where people explain what they like about their full size in the context of what they miss about the smaller platform. in short, i'm looking for folks who've made the change from compact pickup/suv to a full size rig and want to share their experiences.
i've laid out a few starter questions (if people are interested), they might be a good way to get the ball rolling:
what did you think would be the pluses of going to full size?
how have those expectations matched up with your current experiences?
what do you wish you had known about full size rigs before you made the change?
if you could go back to the smaller platform rig, would you? why?
thanks:lurk:
