Bigger bigger bigger........when will it stop? I have done a few 3/4 ton Ford's, Chevy's and Dodge trucks, all with diesel and it's a chore! Now, 1/2 ton trucks are trying to be the next Peterbilt. Jeez! And, although the trucks I've done (except 1) are all actually used for hauling, farming, hunting, etc - I get more land everytime I powerwash one and later scrape the dirt to the side of the driveway. I'm short - at least I think I am, 5'8" is short right? Anyway, I'm up on a painters platform, or climbing in and out of the bed to get to the top of the cab, standing on a stool to get the middle of the hood..
ARGGHHHH! What happened to regular size? Like back in the '80's, I remember my family farmed with F-100's and old International's and they somehow got tobacco to market without 4x4, AC, PS, PB, automatic, etc...
OK, I agree, we've all come a long way and I'm gratefull for the features and safety that new vehicles have, but, c'mon,they're too damn big!
