I am no longer one of you; I traded in my '06 and got a '15 Sierra Crew Cab. They gave me the Godfather deal; one I couldn't refuse. 
It was one of those Blackout Specials....seriously loaded with everything but a sunroof. It will take me weeks or months to learn everything.
I had decided a few weeks ago to go back to a full size and I've had a Sierra before so the decision was fairly simple for me.
Good luck Taco drivers!!

How you liking the switch? Did you realize how much comfort you were sacrificing?

From mid-size to full? Love it
Most of my driving in the Taco was local; probably less than 2 hours so it wasn't a huge deal.

When I went from full size to mid-size? I don't think I fully realized it until I took my first trip and then reality hammered me in the arse.

I'll be switching in a few years, to a full size, probably GMC Sierra.
I love my 2nd Gen Tacoma, last of the good breed. Not a big fan of the later model year 2nd Gens, but I have a 2005 the first year of them.
I'll run this truck into the ground and then switch to a full size and get the same gas mileage with more arse. The new engine in the Tacoma turned me off big time and I won't be getting a 3rd Gen after this one dies, if ever.

No, Im talking about driving the Tacoma for years and now having a presumably much larger and more comfortable truck now? Ive been eyeing the Taco for years but just cant justify pulling the trigger because I feel Id sacrifice quite a bit in comfort for the same amount of money or more.

Don't need luck. Good decisions take care of themselves.

Call me when you stick that beast and I'll come drive circles around you.

I'll be switching from a pre runner to a z71 all terrain soon. As the kids get older their toys get bigger and just want more space.

Gotcha....TBH (and IMO) all mid-size trucks should be obsolete very, very soon unless you want a mid-size 4 banger. Like you mentioned the costs between the 2 is almost a push but the comfort level in the full-size is 100% better PLUS I'm getting better mileage with my 5.3 Sierra (the new engine technology is off the charts) than I did with my 4.0 Taco.
Stick with your gut instincts and keep your full-size.

Not going to happen. If you need a DD that performs offroad you can't beat a mid size. If I tried to drive a full size truck where I take my Tacoma it would be beat to hell within a year.

OK I didn't think about this

I love my new Tundra, but still miss my '04 Tacoma.
Just keep an eye on the amount of gas in your tank. I've got a buddy that got new gmc's for him and his wife and they told me that there is no gas gauge and the low fuel warning system is a little sporadic. She's been stranded with an empty tank. Why they wouldn't just put a regular gas gauge I don't know.

Did they give you more for the taco than you paid for it?
That's what most taco owners tell me

I know this wasn't directed to me, but I bought my 04 used from a dealer for about 15K kept it 5 years and traded it in to a dealer for about 11K. If I had done private sale both times it would have been next to 0 depreciation in those 5 years. More than once a random person approached me out of the blue in a parking lot offering to buy my truck.

I'm trying to decide between a newer f150 or a Gen1 Tacoma right now. They're really tempting.
