Ryland: exactly. It's like there's some sort of pickup-truck arms race going on, and the result is LESS utility! OK, I'm 6'4" with big long monkey arms, and I can't even reach into the boxes of these newer trucks anymore. How is that "better"? The older ones- say, almost all of them up to about '95 or so- I can get stuff outta the box without crawling up in there. And the tailgates weren't 5' up in the air when down either. I've driven some of the newer ones and I wouldn't trade my old one for a new one if it was given to me. Well... unless I could sell the new one and buy my old one back and keep the difference! A friend of mine has one of these new monster trucks and it takes him about 10 minutes to get the leviathan into and out of a parking space.
