I would like to consider a full size and may not rule it out. For the money, full size is the only way to go but my problem is parking a full size truck in my neighborhood or in my driveway. My street is almost always completely jam packed and my driveway is really narrow. My girlfriends father has a full size GMC and is going to be stopping by today so I’m going to have him try to pull it into the driveway and see if it’ll fit. > > I looked at the Dakota and it is a bigger mid-size truck but it is so ugly in my opinion. The Nissan and Toyota are bigger then the Colorado and the Canyon which is why I ruled the Chevy/GMC out. I will only consider buying a domestic truck if I’m going to go full size. > > For the most part I’m not doing heavy duty hauling like you probably are. I’m mostly doing work around my house, hauling a lawn mower, the occasional side job here and there. Anything that would require something with a full size truck, I could borrow from a friend or family member. Here’s the deal. Buying a truck is like buying a tool. Buy the biggest and the best god damn tool you can afford at the time. You’re going to get a small truck and then find all these fucking awesome uses for it that IT WON’T FUCKING HANDLE. Am I going to tow with that fucking monstrosity all the time? FUCK NO Am I really ever going to need that truck? MAYBE but I gotta buy a truck anyway and you can do ANYTHING with something like this. ANYTHING. Do I have a small penis and this truck makes me feel better? YES I HAVE A SMALL PENIS. NO THE TRUCK DOES NOT HELP THAT. I’ve been in the situation where I’ve had to small of a truck (97 Nissan hardbody - first truck) I couldn’t do SHIT with it except put a quad in the bed. Fucking wouldn’t make it up a damn hill without downshifting and running it at 5k all the time. My previous truck was a 99 F250 v10 with an auto. I LOVED that god damn truck, but the gas mileage was equivalent to a fully loaded semi. The truck would take anything I threw at it, but Fords automatic isn’t that great and the v10 is not as powerful as some like. I never had a problem with mine, i towed 5k with it once and you’d never know it was there. The best part about a fullsize truck is having a bed that’s worth a damn. Don’t get a fucking crew-cab-neutered-bed-bitch-mobile that you can’t even put sheetrock in. Point is - the point of having a truck is to be able to use it for everything and anything. Buy a TRUCK, don’t buy a glorified sport utility. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/in-the-market-for-a-truck/253852)._
