Congrats on the new truck.
Its hard to turn down the better MPG if you don't NEED a full size truck on a regular basis. Outside of towing our trailer to go camping, a Ranger/Tacoma/Colorado would handle 99% of what I use my truck for now.
Hope you enjoy it as much as you obviously enjoyed the last one.

Nice little truck, but I have to ask, Couldn’t you get just as good fuel mileage with a 3.5na or a 2.7eb? Seems like you could have allot more truck with little to no more fuel consumption.

That's the thing I never get about the midsize trucks. They pretty much cost the same and the mpg is pretty much the same as certain engines the full size use. They are nice looking but I just can't get over the price they get for them.

That's the thing, I don't need a vehicle the size of an f150. Sure I could have tried my luck with a ecoboost, but the price I paid for this truck vs what it would have cost for a comparable full size wasn't worth it financially. Just dont need the utility of it. So, I bought what I needed. Nothing more.

I'm sorta in the same situation though, My wife drives a 2012 Mitsubishi RVR AWD, great little car/suv, she has 100000 miles on it and its still running strong, it gets 28-30mpg, we will be replacing it in the next year or so though, I really cant see myself getting into a cramped little Car/SUV/Truck again when I can be driving a full size for roughly the same cost, I think we will be buying a Full size truck with the largest cab and the smallest engine available for our next family vehicle. Another reason for my decision is resale, the full size stuff seems to hold value much better imho
