Every time this gets posted I can't help but think what would happen if you loaded up the little guy with comparable weights. I get it, full sized pickups aren't for everyone but come on, they aren't even close in payload capacity unless you're hauling packing peanuts. Check it out.

Just the beds here. Not getting into the motor, transmission, suspension, etc.

A modern Toyota Tacoma long bed. Bed Length: 73.5 inches Width at Tailgate: 53 inches Depth: 20.2 inches Max Towing Capacity: 6500lbs

GMC 2500 HD Denali (my pickup) Bed Length: 82.5 inches Width at Tailgate: 71.4 inches Depth: 22.4 inches  Max Towing Capacity: 15,000 lbs

With a full sized pickup you can stack a pallet of lumber flat. Lumber is 8ft standard length. Whole sheets of plywood and drywall are 4ft x 8ft. A 12' roll of carpet sits on a roof rack without overhanging the front or back. There is just no comparing the two, they are made for completely different purposes.

My point is the full sized pickups have a place. I used to install carpet and hard floors. Now I tow an RV and need the higher clearance for the locations I visit. For little miss molly home maker or office job joe, full sized pickups are a ridiculous choice but don't judge if you don't know. Camping in remote locations isn't only for the affluent. Not everyone can afford a commuter vehicle in addition to their fun vehicle. They have to make a choice and drive what they own.
