I've owned only sedans my whole life.
I've always wanted a truck but due ot being gas hogs and price, I never bought one.
I've been working from home the last 5 years so gas wouldn't be too big of an issue now. Problem would be if I lose my job or something like that where I have to travel an hour to work again. Although still only getting under 20 mpg is bad.
The price is still an issue too.
I want something that I can haul stuff around in, like my lawn mower or snowblower if they need service or need to use them elsewhere, lawn/home supplies/appliances, pull a trailer for coal (I have a coal stove for the winter), and I also hunt so hauling a deer or just going back fields and stuff would be nice.
I need crew cab or at least extended cab for when I have my nieces and nephew or want to go somewhere with more than 1 other person.
I'm trying to find a truck in my price range and it's a bit tough.
I test drove a 2012 Nissan Frontier but it was too small for leg room.
I sat in a 2016 Frontier to see if it was any different and it seemed smaller yet I think (probably same size in reality).
Sat in a Nissan Titan too and that was too small.
Sat in a Ford F150 and that had good room but I don't have a good opinion on Fords. Have yet to try a Tacoma, but afraid that will be the same as the frontier in size. Want to try a Silverado 1500 and Ram 1500 yet.
My 2nd option is an SUV but not sure what I want there. I drove 2 different Chevy Equinoxes (rentals) from PA to MA on 2 different occasions and I really liked them, so that is 1 option. Not sure what else is a good option to look at.
With the SUV I would have more storage capacity and if I got a v6 could haul stuff in a trailer.
pretty sure whatever I get I want a v6 at least and either 4wd or awd
