Funny how my car choices changed from 2007 to now.

Early 2008 - bought new 4Runner. Drove it awhile, sold in early 2015. Extremely well built, but uncomfortable to drive for long road trips....

If I didn't ever have to park in...

Curious -- for those with sleeping platforms built into the truck beds -- what bed length do you have on the truck, how tall are you, and can you sleep straight (lengthwise) with the truck, or do you...
