The way mid size trucks are priced it doesn't seem worth getting one compared to a full size. At least new ones.
I needed a crew cab for my growing children. I only use a truck for light duty. But when I compared mid size crew cabs to full size crew cabs I found that the mid size mpg wasn't really much better than full size. Once the bigger rebates and incentives kicked in on the full size trucks I just didn't see the value in going smaller.
Extended and Reg cab mid size trucks are still decent value with smaller engines and perhaps a standard tranny. I traded a Chevy Colorado Ext. cab with the 5 cyl and manual tranny. Decent gas milage and a good size for my trucking needs. But no room my growing kids in the back.
