Be aware that the mid sized with 6 foot beds and quad cabs have a really bad turning radius. If you are going with a 6 foot bed, the smaller cab is the way to go.The models I am looking at have 6 foot beds
yup planning on the extra cab either way. Not full crew cabBe aware that the mid sized with 6 foot beds and quad cabs have a really bad turning radius. If you are going with a 6 foot bed, the smaller cab is the way to go.
I am fully in the taco camp. Though I see your reasoning for siding with a full size truck.With all the height comments wasnt sure how tall the OP is, but if sleeping in it I’d go bigger. Ive had an old suburban, 2 tacomas and 2 “pre tacomas”, old tundra, a chevy colorado diesel, and now back to a silverado. The suburban was the best as far as versatility, folding down the back seats made a spacious bed without a wall, it was warmer and less drafty, didnt leak, etc. But you’ll frost the windows in cold wx. I’m 6’2” but thin, I could not sleep comfortably in any of the mid size trucks with a 6’ bed. Even my 6.5’ bed silverado I’m touching the tailgate or sleeping diagonally if I have to close tailgate for any reason. I get in my wifes Tacoma and it feels really cramped now.
Unless you need the narrower width or smaller footprint of a smaller truck, I dont know why people get them if they actually use them as a truck. The full size trucks arent much of a price increase unless you need a fancy trim package, the fuel economy is pretty close in real life (possibly better if you tow), and yet they are so much roomier and more capable, and Ive found more durable. At this point I dont think I could go back to a mid size.
SRW, but my 250 has been places people tell me a Tacoma wouldn't fit. Paint still looks good too.I guess it depends on how you look at things.
My truck is a tool, and I use it as such, I take it places guys won't go with mid size trucks, and I got 4 tires on the back.
There's a few scenarios I can see a mid size really being better, but combined with the drawbacks, I think a full size is probably as practical for most, especially with these modern "mid size" that are the size of an F-1fitty 15 years ago.
This....nothing compares to having all of your stuff under you or in the cab then just crawling into an already made bed at the end of the day.
Also, with a full size bed you can leave all your crap in there while you sleep. It’s nice not having to take anything out of the back and deal with rain, cold, theft etc. If you’re willing to deal with pin stripes you can get a full size truck in most places a mid size truck will go.This....
I love the ability to just park in a new place whenever I feel like it, everything is packed, no headaches, no hassle.
