Because I have a Tundra, I looked up the Crewmax vs the double cab and it's the same turn radius and depending on trim, the double has the highest tow rating. Buy a pickup to haul people or things? I think we're in agreement. People are not buying to haul much.

I turn the traction control off and hit the tow/haul(ass) button occasionally to feel like a teenager with a new drivers license and a full tank of gas.
jmedslc-look into this on your new pickup. Pretty fun blowing the doors off an unsuspecting rice grinder at a red light.

Trucks.
VW buses. I used to have a gen 0 4Runner. That was perfect… especially with that internal roll bar.

How about people who've owned multiple bed sizes weigh in. I've owned the 6.5ft tundra, then the 5.5, and now an 8ft Ford.
While I loved both tundras, I absolutely hated the 5.5ft bed. Biggest vehicle buying mistake I've made as an adult. Diagonal ski loading was a pain in the ass. And I can't count the times the cab ended up crammed with shit I would have preferred to have in the bed. Cab was a foot longer than it needed to be for anyone under 6'4".

I've been seeing these around more and more lately. Pretty sure I saw these guys filming a few weeks ago down in the SJ's .
Pretty cool, they drive some of the roads in the San Juan's including going down Black Bear in stock Rivians.
Interesting that they actually gain mileage going down the pass because of regenerative braking.
Some more wheeling around in the Rivian on my back yard trails with some more technical info:
11k lbs towing! whoa!

What’s great about options is that everyone can choose what’s best for themselves. When it comes to the Tundra crewmax it’s the only way to get the roll down rear window. Yes the back seat is 6” too long (which could be added to the bed in a perfect world) but is a great benefit when booting up for skiing and loading my dogs crate in the back. Personally never banged my head about needing a longer bed but I also don’t travel without my family and use a tow trailer.
I work at an electrical company now with 1200 employees. We have single cab trucks with 8’ beds for the peasant workers and the general foreman all roll crew cab Denali trucks with small beds. Each serving their intended purpose.

That’s a nice way to describe the people that put the work in place that allows you to get a paycheck. WTF.

You mean foremen driving job to job to supervise that could be done in a Prius? I kid, mostly. Hey, I know foremen wouldn’t take a job where they have to drive a small sedan so it’s part recruiting and retaining supervisor type folks in a labor market where it’s hard to do that.

Your fix is mostly accurate but the GFs I’ve seen, do a lot of work and have earned their way up, most definitely. Plus their trucks haul things on occasion and they offer carpooling to their crew.
Regarding myself- sold the 911 before the bubble pops and Cayenne will be gone soon. Not feeling it anymore, too flashy. Hence the new Tundra talk. On the career change- moved being an RE agent to secondary job while I’m an apprentice in an industry where guys make 175 a year and have one of the best pensions in the country. Also RE agents are F’d in the future as the way people purchase homes will change with tech. That and the bubble is about to pop.. transactions will dramatically slow down. Plus I like building shit. Got to be proactive. I’m not too proud to start from the bottom.
