    ANSWERS:

    1. Me, maybe one other, simple.

    2. I never tow. I have towed once in my current Tacoma.

    3. No one likes to loose $$, If my current truck was a V6, i'd drive it into the ground, need more power.

    In the end, i am most likely sticking with a Tacoma.

    EVERYONE has helped make the decision MUCH easier.

    Being 6’ and 235 lb.s made my decision for me, lol... oh, and being married and having two nearly 100 lb. dogs also pushed me to get a Silverado Crew Cab.... I have previously owned an FJ (awesome) and a Tundra (not impressed, but that was back in 2009). So far the 2015 Chevy has been great.

    i havent read any other posts in this thread, but I have a buddy who owns a shop. He told me he keeps chevy parts on stock because chevys keep him in business. He has to order all toyota parts. I also spoke with a guy who worked for chevy and his words were "they make garbage. all parts are cheapest you can find." i cant get over the fact that americans still support that company. but then again americans not so smart!. my two cents.

    It's funny. I went from a full size Ford supercab to a 2016 Tacoma DC. I'm 6'1" 245 lbs and have a wife that's 6'3". My two oldest kids are 6' and over and I've got two more kids that are growing. We can't all go in the Tacoma, but I have never regretted going to it. I started out looking for Tundras, and I'm still glad I got the Tacoma.

    Really, how do the seats feel After a 3 hr trip?

    I like my Tacoma seats, others don't. You being bigger is my reasoning for asking

    I haven't had an issue with them. I never did feel comfortable in my F-150. I spend a lot of time in the truck alone, but there are times when there are three 6 footers in the truck. That can get uncomfortable, but we limit that to short trips.

    If there ever was a family that needs a full sized, it would be your family! You guys must look like clowns coming out of a clown car , dont take offense to that, just can't imagine you all being comfortable!

    No offense taken. Typically I'm in the truck by myself. It's rare that there are three or more 6 footers in the truck.

    Now back to the clown car. I once yelled at a basketball ref on a bad call and asked him it that was his clown car parked out front! :rofl:
