I know im late to the party but...
Having had a nissan, and toyota,
And ford my next truck would be.
Wait a year or 2 and get a dodge with the 3.0 diesel.
Or. Used ford ecoboost.
I can see no advantage to buying a compact truck. Same mileage, less room, less comfort, less power, less towing capacity, less aftermarket support (except taco), similar cost..
