Go sit in each one. After sitting in the back of an f150 and Tundra the Silverado and Ram feel cramped to me (relatively speaking obviously)

Another thing I really like about the F150 is the flat rear floor. With the seats folded up it's basically like having an suv. The space is insane.

Funny you left out the two most durable (and capable SUVs) the Land Cruiser and LX.

Unless you work in the construction field or similar everyday as a job, it's always best to buy an SUV and a flatbed utility trailer. An SUV allows you to carry more people and more luggage safely inside the vehicle and if you need the bed space you just have to trailer up and go pick up whatever material you need or move furniture. If you get a big flat bed trailer then you can even move cars and other large objects that you can't with a pickup truck so you end up having to buy a large trailer anyway.

Ended up at hub city getting a demo with 2k miles. There wasn't any inventory at your people's place and didn't want to waste their time.

Likewise, I'm looking at some used Tahoe's now. Need the interior space not so much the truck bed. I'll get a trailor if I need one

Yeah I've always just picked from what they had. When I bought mine I wanted a king ranch but the only one they had didn't have the options I wanted so I got a lariat

The one I have has all kind of shite I don't need, but maybe it will help with resale.

I wanted the one at courtesy, but they got caught in a lie and I told them to go play.

They didn’t give you the phone book you needed to see over the dashboard? Or was it one of the little residential phone books, that are like half as thick?

I have an FJ Cruiser, its nice and will probably last forever(08 with 70k).

I want a truck with a camper top next, not the actual camper just the top that covers the bed. That and a sliding rear window would be just about perfect.

no phone books anymore. They threw in a iPad and those are too thin.

I'll probably be buying a 4Runner in the next few weeks. A vehicle for me is around a 15 year commitment. I really appreciate reliability.

The 4Runner looked like the most bang for the buck hands down and the killer reliability is a plus. I'm looking forward to buying it.

I traded a 2010 sr5 with about 100k miles that had damage and got $14k for it. We still have a 2016 4Runner limited that we will keep for years to come.
