I'm gonna be in the market for a pickup in the next yr or so. I'm looking for a midsize and have been thinking either colorado/canyon or Tacoma. Anybody own one (or both) and care to weigh in?
the smaller trucks aren’t any cheaper and don’t get any better gas milage. They also have less power, less towing capability, less cargo space, less comfort etc. Unless space is really an issue i would think long and hard about a half ton.
How big is your garage? A full size may fit. I would go with a Toyota Tundra if I was going to buy a kid size truck. There is no more reliable truck on the road and would be worry free with routine maintenance. The resale is also way better on the Toyota’s. You will not see a truck as reliable and proven from Ford or Chevy.I have never owned a pickup and am looking at midsize only because I can't fit a full size in my tiny garage. I'm tired of having to ride along in someone else's pickup if I want to go hunting. Or have to ask someone for help if I need something hauled somewhere. I don't own a boat, so don't need it for towing. Just looking for something to mainly putz around town that I can hunt out of too.
How have Ram trucks been lately? They are about the cheapest new truck a guy can get but how did they do down the road? I know someone with the new 2019 and it has already been in the shop for electronic issues.1500 Ram. Mic drop.

If you do consider a full size I would go with a Ford F-150 in the 2.7 ecoboost or the 5.0 v8. You can get a 5.5’ box with a crew cab and still fit in some smaller garages.
Another value option is to go with a Ram 1500 classic. It is the old body style at a value minded price. I saw a new crew cab for sale with a hemi for only 31k. Hard to find a new truck for that price.
