Parts for these trucks are so affordable. Doesnt make sense to get Something bigger and newer for me.
Tires were $35 a peice new, clutch was $50 complete kit etc. Just putting tires on some of the trucks in this thread could buy a nice practice bike lol, let alone the depreciation and cost to own it for a few years.
Now I have a 2011 Frontier V6 4x4 that is running like new at 145,000 miles.

My 2010 3.0 Turbo Diesel.. 8L/100km (or 29mpg as you guys call it..) we get all the Thai built trucks here in Aus. They're awesome.
Note that it warms up about 5 minutes in the driveway in the morning because it’s f...ing cold up here. When you get in, you want it to at least be close to blowing heat. (heated seats are da bomb).
Also, this is almost entirely all city stop and go, and Canadian winters are tough on gas mileage.
The auto function is also on so my Wife doesn’t have to figure out if it should be in 2 or 4 wheel drive. Less mileage is better than smashed up, Canadian winters are interesting. Hate winter, but have always loved winter driving. Road conditions change quickly, and big snow storms are super fun to play in.
Stock Goodyear Duratrac’s probably don’t help, but they look awesome. Also took the front air dam off before I ripped it off. That is supposed to save 1l/100km. Hey, I don’t live far from work and I hit it sometimes, wanna have fun with it. When it needs gas I put some in.
I know people with full sized trucks up here that do a bit better, but they are pretty hard to park and maneuver around town and a parking garage. I’m kind of shocked at how big this truck is. It’s as long as a full sized truck. My Wife bought a small travel trailer and we have a boat, tows real nice. 7700lb towing capacity.
Bike hasn’t been in the back yet.
I think it would be a better truck with an 8 than a 6, but I still love it. Love the GM ride. A coworker with a Colorado says it has an ugly front end compared to his though, ha.
The diesel is said to give much better mileage, but my daily commute is so short I didn’t think a diesel was appropriate. And diesel costs a lot more up here.
1970 International. Got us to the track as good as anything else. Could handle a load of railroad ties as well.

Not quite as practical but will get you to the track faster than anything else here. 6.2l Chev LSA, 558hp, 510ft-lbs, 0-60mph in less than 4.5 seconds.
2016 SILVERAYDO 4X4 gets the job done with power and room to spare *note normally it does not have that amount of sag but I was just turning trailer around and didn't install the torsion bars*
Selling my 2015 ford transit Motovan to get out the payment if anyone interested

Extended cab can fit all your gear in the back seat, and you can put the bikes in withthe tailgate up. You can fit a tool box but the tailgate has to go down with bikes.
I wouldn't get anything 4 door short bed unless you have a trailer. As you can see from diggers you can get 1 bike in sideways and if you have a tool box just forget about it.
Oceantrav has the right set up and he stole it! You can't get a used Tacoma for that price and the Tacoma doesn't have shit on that f-150.
Speaking from experience. Won't run over 60, everything has to go in the back in the open, what can't go in the back has to sit in your lap. Have to walk on the bed sides just to get around the bikes. But gets the most compliments and looks at the track no matter what jacked up diesel rig is there.
If this doesn't sell you on mid size nothing will that is 4 bikes in an f150
Once I get the windows tinted and some wheels she’ll be good to go.
Wish I had one of these just for hauling the bike. The F-150s have TONS of room inside to keep the gear bags dry and for naps between motos.
Anyway, it’s a cool little truck that gets me to the track and goes all week on $20 worth of gas. And I have the title in my safe. I still want a Raptor, though.
And yeah, way better loading up into a low truck than a lifted one.
