I’ve thought about a small trailer as well, I use my F250 to do truck stuff on occasion but I’ve been trying to decide if I could just use a small trailer instead for the couple times a month I need to.

I do understand west. I wanted a 2 door Jeep, but it just wasn't practical with the wife owning a 2 door car. But, it turned out to be a good decision. With the ability to put the back seat down you've got the best of both worlds. You can haul other folks, or haul a bunch of crap with the same vehicle.
I tend to get off the beaten path to do fly fishing, currently I have a Keeper bag on top of my 16 Outback that stores the inflatable kayak and other stuff, I use the interior for sleeping when in bear country.

I've got that space in my Jeep. Ummmmm, I wonder if I can talk the wifey out of her Mustang into a 2 door Bronco. I gotta start working on some preliminary plans......:)
My dilemma: I have an '05 Unlimited Rubicon, F250, '05 Mustang, and an Explorer. Do I simply replace the Rubicon with a 2d, or also sell the Mustang so I can up option the Bronco (as the Bronco may have the fun factor of the Mustang) , or convince my wife the 4d would make a good replacement for the Explorer and keep my fun cars (Rubicon and Mustang)?

yup. that's while I'll still have a pickup after getting Bronco. nothing beats being able to just throw some dirt, or gas cans, or what have you in the back of a truck without any concern for cleaning crap up or having to go grab a trailer.

Four door good replacement for Explorer. But I’d still sell the Jeep, that’s just me though, I do understand how some people like them.

I will never understand how anybody could possibly think this and yet I see it all the time. Literally defies all logic and reason. When people say “bigger” I immediately think width, since that is sort of what defines the size of a vehicle. Length depends on door count, bed size etc and height is dependent on lift kit, tire size, etc. But width is the thing that doesn’t change... and the F-150 has been just under 80” wide since the 1960’s.

Sorry for the rant but the “ranger is the same size as a 90’s F-150” is my biggest pet peeve and it annoys me to no end because it’s just straight up wrong.

Edit as well: here’s a reddit post that debunks this as well with actual specs:

You're damn right.

Also...These people need to just...Drive them. I have a Crewmax Tundra, and people say the same shit about the Tacoma. I've driven both, and the Tacoma is a whole planet smaller.

More likely that cutout is for the intercooler.
Yeah probably, the edges, particularly the bottom, seem more ragged on this one that others. Like maybe a cable was cutting into the camo at times. Could just be wishful thinking though.

I could probably sell the claim that my Tundra has "too much leg room."

I'm 5'6" and pants with a 29" inseam are too long for me. Every time I have to get back in my truck after taking it to the shop, I have to move the seat so much to get it back where it belongs that it changes zip codes.

There's so much leg room behind the seat in my Double Cab Tundra that my friend, who is 6'7" tall, can sit behind me comfortably with plenty of leg room to spare.

Toyota could cut 3-4 notches of adjustment off the back end of the seat track, reduce the length of the cab by that amount, and I'd still be fine. They could give that back to me in the form of either a shorter wheelbase or (preferably) more bed length (because why not have a 6'9" or 6'10" box instead of a 6'6" box?).

With the removable top, it may require an exterior type frame, like this ...

If you haven’t seen it yet, take a look at the smitty built trailers. Mount a good roof top tent on it and you are ready for anything.
