This is good advice. A 2015/2016 Toyota Tacoma or Chevy Colorado 4 door could be had for under $35,000 very well equipped


You can buy a (ETA: Well equipped... i.e Lariat F150, LTZ Silverado, etc) fullsize crew cab for $35k, or very close to it. When you're talking about spending a lot of money on a vehicle that you plan to drive for a long time, why compromise?

"For 90% of truck buyers" More like for 99.9% of truck buyers, this shouldn't even factor into the decision.

The full sized models appear to sell for anywhere between $5500-$8000 more than the mid sizers....comparing apples to apples, trim level to trim level.
