All the truck threads seem to be based around midsized trucks like Taco's. I however, being a sasquatch of a man (both in hair and height) and sexually inadequate, need something on the larger size. This thing will be used for constant shuttling and many roadtrips. 4-5 passengers and that many or more bikes driving up steep mountain roads, often rough or unpaved. There are only a few specific requirements right now
1. Mega/Crewmax type cab
I might have to sit in the back of it at some time, and at 6' 7.5" even Haktastic's double cab 07 Tundra doesn't have enough headroom.
2. Somewhat acceptable mileage
I know this one is a losing battle, but somewhere around 18-21 HWY would be nice
3. Reliable
I want this thing to last 200k+ miles.
4. Not a requirement, but I'd like a 6.5 ft. bed. I'm willing to consider the Tundra though
So that narrows it down to this list:
1. 06-07 2500 Dodge Ram Diesel
2. 09-10 Ford F150 5.4L
3. 07-10 Toyota Tundra 5.7L
Thoughts?
