Do you wish your truck was smaller?

For the baws that tow anything over 3,500 lbs, ignore this, but the vast majority of you don’t tow anything, let alone anything over 3.5k lbs.

So why have a big truck instead of getting something more reasonable like a Tacoma or Maverick?

Because they like their kidneys?

Truck Karen....

Only way I'm getting a smaller truck is when Chevy comes back with the 2Dr Tahoe.

I’m too much man for these little girly trucks. I’ll get a Ridgeline when I’ve given up on life

My bigger question is for the baws with the big trucks who can't do things like park. If you can't drive the truck properly, why do you have it?

Scruffy has a Canyon. It is the perfect size for the vast majority of what needs to be done.

Is this a euphemism post?

Bigger the the truck the smaller the peen...

The smaller the truck the bigger the peen...

Or is it "objects in mirror may be larger than they appear."

I have a 1500 Trail Boss. It is the right size for supervising the trails.

I'd guess 75% of my buddies with big trucks never tow anything and work office jobs that don't require using truck beds.

Never understood the appeal outside of the random day I need a bunch of shite from Home Depot.

I have a NA 4.7L V8 in my medium sized SUV and can tow plenty and have a third row that folds down. Just seems more practical than a truck for me and those friends.

I have a Ranger and it's perfect for me. I use it as a truck should be used often. There have only been a handful of times that I wished it had more room but it's not enough to make me feel like I should have spent another $20k on a bigger truck.

One of the only reasons I might get a bigger truck when this one falls apart is for how much smoother the ride is. Small trucks beat the hell out of you driving rough roads.

I wish it were bigger.

I'd drive a giant pink dump truck if my hubby would buy me one.

Exactly. I have the diesel variety and it will tow 7000 lbs.

I just wish that size of truck had better gas mileage. It's shocking how minimal of a difference they have from full size trucks (unless a lot has chagned since I looked into it about 2 years ago)

I can drive my ride just fine... just stink at parking, but I'm getting better.

No Don't think a Ranger or Tacoma could haul my tractor safely.

I was in the need of a new truck and I have a 12 year old son so I bought a Tacoma with plans on handing it over to him in a few years. I love it and will probably get another one when it’s time for him to drive

This. It's not that people need a bigger truck it's that mid size have gotten expensive, they ride like shite, they are smaller, and get shitty gas mileage. The jump from mid size to full size with better everything isn't that much price wise.

I have owned 3 Nissan frontiers, I loved that truck, but it wouldn't fit kids in car seats, had the turn radius of battleship, and my 6.6 Duramax gets better fuel mileage.
