We need a pic of that next to a civic or some international econobox for a True measure of scale.

..gets me up in the hills with the bikes in the back and gets me back down.

Agreed.

Not quite as big or as powerful as sylus' Chevy , but very nimble offroad: my 2011 Toyota Tacoma 4WD pickup with access cab, 4.0 liter v6, and 6-speed manual transmission gets me where I need to go.

Been tempted to chop the chevy in for a tacoma to be honest... 10-15 mpg around town and the novelty wears off..measured the truck today...front to back 19 1/2 feet..mirror to mirror 8 1/2 feet

great looking truck chap and some excellent views ..given me a few ideas

Many thanks, sylus.

Here's a couple of my previous rides:

1991 Toyota 4WD pickup with Xtracab, 3 liter v6, and 5-speed manual trans. Great ride except that it blew a head gasket every 60k miles. After 12 years and over 185k miles, I traded up for a 2003 Toyota Tacoma 4WD pickup with Xtracab, 3.4 liter v6, and 5-speed manual trans. That one was my favorite; it was like a motocross bike with a pickup bed, and I would have kept it if I could have afforded to, and if I ever won the lottery, I'd buy a bunch of them. It's big enough to carry what you need, and skinny enough to get through some tight little spaces, and the high-in-the-saddle seating allows a commanding view of the road. I put over 250k miles on it in 7.5 years, so it was time to trade it up for the 2011 Taco.
