ahhhh. the smaller trucks never made much sense to me. maybe if they were better on fuel than they are. you can buy a full size for the price of most smaller trucks.
1. not everyone needs a truck for reasons that would justify the lesser mpg of a fullsize. Its minimal in the dakotas because of nearly similar engine choices w/ minimal weight differences, but in other brands there is a solid difference.
2. fullsize trucks have such a clumsy handling feeling for DD duty. Typically the compact/midsize trucks have more a car-like feel.
