    Does anyone regret down sizing from a full size Ford Chevy or Gmc?

    I drive one every day for work. While the bigger bed and more interior space is cool and all, using it for daily driving like I do with my taco would be cumbersome. Very difficult to park and very difficult to judge where the front is.

    I downgraded from a Tundra.

    I do NOT miss it.

    It really depended on what I used it for...which was only to go TO work and back home, not to actually USE it for work. I never towed anything, and the most weight I've put in the back was about half to 3/4ths of a ton, which I could have split into two loads if I needed to.

    There's that and the gas mileage wasn't as great as my Tacoma.

    I do not regret the decision one bit.

    Ultraguage, 265/75/16, Leds interior. Tailgate security mod.Debadged, plasti dipped emblems.
    Gave my F250 7.3 powerstroke to my son. 4 bucks + /gallon fuel would get you about 16 miles down the highway. 3 gallons of delo 400 plus the fiters about once a month would kiss anoither Franklin goodbye. Faulty crank position sensors & etc kept us in frequent touch with three diesel mechanics. Don' miss the smell of raw diesel fuel from the truck or especially leaky fuel pumps. Miss the truck - absolutely! I get to see it just enough to remind me to keep my Tacoma.
