Wait, so thats not a real truck either? It has a transfer case. Make up your mind. You can buy us an appropriate car if we spent our money wrong there bud. Not everyone needs to tow 10,000 pounds or go play on the Rubicon trail. Hell most "real trucks" never tow anything or see dirt. Who's the dummy in that situation? We pull a small camper and a trailer with our bikes. Guess we should have gotten a dramax 1 ton. Is a 2 wheel drive one ton diesel Chevy a real truck? No tranfer case right? We bought the truck we need, not what the "real truck" crowd thinks we need. Our truck has a payload higher than some 1/2 tons and tows more than we need. Rides and handles better than any "real truck" and gets killer mpg. All that for about the cost of base model 1/2 ton 2wd truck. And, important to us, best reliability in a truck currently.
Am I anti "real truck"? No. Just have no need for what you consider a manly mans truck. I've had full size, mid size and small "real trucks". Many. If I need one for some reason, I'll buy one. I don't need the price penalty, ride quality penalty and mpg penalty to be able to claim "I drive a real truck" Oh and as an FYI, we don't buy fully loaded vehicles. We don't want or need all that bs.
