    True, reason I haven’t jumped. More room is about it. I only use my bed once a week for hauling bikes to track.

    For me it was 'utility' that pulled me into a full-size. I bought an F150 first for the higher payload and netted better fuel economy while I was at it. Then I traded to a 2500 Ram for the even higher payload and the ability to hang a real plow on the nose.

    My Toyota was way better for play, but for work it's no comparison.

    if you need it for work purposes and that requires heavier loads, then i totally get it. I use my truck for a truck a few times a month and it's very light duty so i have no reason to go to a full size.

    I use it every weekend to haul my bikes to the track, but that's about it. Being single me hard to justify. Just sometimes wish I had some more bed space/interior space. And I get bored with vehicles far to easily.

    If I still was just using it as a toy hauler I'd totally still rock a Tacoma.

    Yep, never a problem till I hit 30, its only every once and a blue moon if I eat too fast, spicy foods, etc. Or so my friend says.

    Ya I think I'm gonna keep the Taco and actually pay off a vehicle for once in my life. Plus saving for a house is my current priority right now. Thanks for the advice.

    House > Car any day of the week. I drove crap-ass $1000 beaters until I bought my house, specifically so I could save up more $$ faster for the down payment.

    Yep, I'll be separating from active duty in July, going to grad school for 2.5 years and will be living with the rents rent free to pad my savings / downpayment even more. Kudos to you on the beaters, I love cars, trucks, bikes too much to do that, I'd be miserable.

    Well, if untreated it can be not so lovely. Just saying

    I usually don't give two fucks about much but reading this thread recently and other things have just lead me to a different path almost over night.

    Yeah I have been thinking about the whole low T thing lately.... Don't get the gerd symptoms hardly ever... and just looked at it as spicy food or heart burn

    Yep, I never really had symptoms of heart burn except on a very very rare occasion.

    Nut my throat has recently been giving me issues and I'm not thrilled.

    The low T this has me thinking as well. I don't even have a general family doctor because I never cared. Now I'm going to specialists and it's pricey and I hope it's done soon.
