In my 2006 SuperCrew (Which is defintely bigger than my 2001 SuperCrew was), and quite roomy up front, my knees still touch the back of the front seat, if it's all the way back (Some times my son wants me to ride on the back seat with him, and let the wife drive). I'm not understanding where the F-150 is larger on the inside than the Tundra.
There are a lot of folks who don't "need" trucks. If everyone who didn't "need" one had to get rid of it, my parking lot might have only have 6 trucks in it, instead of probably 600. Some peopel say, "Well, I can't fit into anything else." which I say is BS. If I can fit in a Mini Cooper, 90% of the US male population can too.
Most of these F-250's, F-350's, 3500 diesels, 2500's, etc. in my parking lot, shine like a new penny, and don't have a scratch on them, or in the bed. We posers just drive trucks because we like them. If we don't really need a truck, what difference does it make what level of posing we do?
Even if we did need a truck, what dumb*** (Aside from that clown on Jackass) would take a new $30K, $40K, $50K truck, so far off road that the fully boxed frame would actually be missed?
I wish I had a buck for every 5'4" guy I've seen with 33" - 35" tires, flowmasters on their F-150, with a 6" lift, and not a scratch or dent on it- that has never touched terrain rougher than the Wal-Mart parking lot. Now, that's a poser- ladies & gentlemen. Potential without execution, is called irrelevance. AKA- Posing.
Good exchange here so far. At least the board is alive...
Maybe someone should start a Titan thread.

Funny thing about the 2-3 people around here that have a Titan, they are pretty much road a-holes. they see you're Ford and think they have to cut you off, looking right at me too. Even the Nissan sedan owners, race, cutoff every chance because they have what to prove to me? If I owned an ugly car or truck like that, I'd run fast too.

I don't know where you guys live, but here in Dallas/Fort Worth- and most places I've been around the world, at 6'1 - 6'2" I tower over most people. Sure, there are always taller folks, but I'm always among the tallest. At my job, on my floor at my end of the builiding, there are maybe 4 guys taller than me- out of probably 200 folks. The tallest one is 6'7", the rest are about 6'4" and shorter.
6'5" is not a "common" height. Not saying it's bad, Hell- I'd love to be 6'5", I'm just saying the average male in the USA is 5'8" (Correction, it's gone up- 5' 10" now), average female 5'4". The only country in the world with an average male height of 6' is the Netherlands.
PS: Height has nothing to do with it. I just thought I'd throw that out there as part of my poser explanation. When you see something like that, you'd think a big fella woudl be driving it. But, usually the folks you see with those big trucks, are little men.
I have yet to see a 6'6" 330 lbs joker get out of a truck like that. It's always some little 5'3", 120 lb. squirt who needs a rope to crawl into it. Nothing wrogn with it, I'm just saying...

I think the new Tundra uglier than a poophouse rat myself - that's my #1 reason for not really liking them. And I don't particularly care for Toyota the company either.
