05 Tundra TRD with 4 full doors...so nice after not having them on my last truck. This truck rides like a car too.
I'm a Toyota fan. I put 200,000+ on my previous '95 T-100 extra cab.

This is how the Jones family rolls. 4 bikes, 1 large raft and 2 kayaks with full gear, hiking and camping equipment, and clothes and food for four people on a week long trip. We are often seen with all this plus a trailer with camp stove, 3 four wheelers, and a motorcycle. Just not on this particular trip. The our Jeep Grand Cherokee does a great job and always gets us to the adventure.

A few more to convince those that are still unconvinced:
Haul a 19,000 pound 5th wheel w/3x full sized ATV's in the garage
Or, light duty and just taking 2x mountain bikes to Moab for a 3 day weekend!

Thanks for all the replies and especially the pics. I love to see your setup with the toys you haul.
I will be doing my research this year and trying to figure out what works best for my lifestyle. What's funny is now that I have been thinking about trucks, I see them everywhere. They are very popular here in Sandy/south end of the Salt Lake valley.

Every once in a while I think about a truck - then look at what I can do with my 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport and my 4x8 trailer - and a truck offers less.
With my 4-door 4x4 suv and trailer I have all bases covered, can carry 5 adults in a pinch, 4 easily, and ALL the space inside the SUV is lockable and easily accessible (unlike a truck with camper shell).
I also have extra flat roof rack bars for occasional purchase of plywood and sheetrock - when I can't be bothered with the trailer.
Trailer also hauls motorcycles occasionally, and the wife uses it to haul donated books - albeit only when she has more than the 30+ boxes that fit inside the Jeep.
BTW - loading and unloading a trailer is way easier than a truck - as the trailer sides are removable.

I used to drive a Toyota corolla and had a Nissan Pathfinder of which was used for when I needed it (parked most of the time). I then upgraded to a first generation access cab Tundra with cap and low miles. The corolla died when a car pulled out in front of me last summer and I made the decision to drive the truck full time. I love it. Number one, you are safe, and people notice you more than driving around a passenger car.
I love the room of my tundra, but dislike the maneuverability of it on trails and forget about short dips. You are gonna scrape so get a trailer hitch to take the brunt of it and move the wire harness. Gas mileage is about the same between my pathfinder and tundra(V6 v.s. V8).
If you spend any amount of time in a big city, you will notice parking stalls are painted for golf carts and not people with larger vehicles. And people with smaller vehicles that dwell in the city don

Frankly, a pickup is the only transportation befitting a western man - short of a horse that is. The question then is, why would a man NOT own a pickup?
