IMO i don't like the new trucks they sit up to high you can't hardly backup because you can't see. You almost have to have a step ladder to reach in the side of the bed to get something out and they are just getting uglier
The newer pickups are about the size of my old 1965 GMC C-50 !

Now I do love medium duty trucks but if you need one that big and strong then buy a medium duty and leave the pickups to be pickups. No offense intended, but all the folks that need to pull 20K pound trailers ought to have just bought the size truck they really needed and not pushed pickups to be something other than a pickup.

I would almost be interested in something like the current Colorado/Canyon pickups if they were offered in a single cab / long bed configuration. I think side by side they would be just about the same size as my 1989 Chevy pickup (minus the extended cab which I don't find that useful).

As it is - I don't know ???? As I get older, I find it harder and harder to keep up an older vehicle to where you can just jump in it and drive out of state without any worry. When/if I had the money, a new or almost new pickup is awful tempting just to (theoretically!) be able to drive it 10 or 15 years without having to always be fixing something.
