If towing is a likelihood, have you done the numbers on a basic F150? Get the 4-door cab and you could do anything and more that you could do in a small SUV.
Toyotas have such high resale value that it is hard for me pull the trigger on one used.

The F-150 will tow and haul better and with the V-6 Eco Boost engine get damn near as good fuel economy. And probably last as many mikes as a Toyota too. And you’ll have a real truck. 🤠
That is what my kids thought. Now they are trying to save up enough pennies to put a new transmission behind that snazzy little ecoboost.
Did you ever hear of a Toyota five speed failing?
Yes there is a reason used Toyotas command premium prices.
