Yeah I do have a bike and kid trailer during summer would be difficult in the 200, but I am sure I can figure something out.For me, the only thing a truck does better than a utility trailer is haul bikes, kayaks, etc. Using a trailer and parking at a trail head or drop off spot is not ideal. Otherwise, utility trailer all the way.
Its funny, when we went to buy a truck we looked at a Tacoma. The dealer would not sell it to us because at the time I was pretty hard core into rallying, and would be towing an STi and spares plus people. The dealer was like "that's just a horrible idea, it CAN do it, but I would not feel comfortable". After I did a ton of research the Tundra seemed to fit the bill and it did for a few years and well not racing anymore but still restore cars. I was thinking of downgradng to a tacoma but drove my buddies and its pretty anemic.I have only owned 2 trucks from time I started driving. 1977 Ford F100 got it used in 1988 (first vehicle) and the bought new 1997 Toyota T100 that I still have. I really like my truck. I also really like my LC. Could I live with LC and utility trailer? YES. Would I? Not any time soon. As to full size truck Tundra and LC I would only have one or the other not both. Tacoma and LC YES. One of biggest reason I still have that T100 is that it is 5 speed manual. It fun to drive. I can load and unload my 10'6" kayak in bed.
The T100 was pretty awesome honestly.
In 2018 I traded in my 2008 LC for a new F250. I currently drive a 2013 LX. Will not be making that mistake again.
Recently I pulled the Carfax on my 08 to see what happened to it after I traded it. It went to auction then exported out of Baltimore to Ghana.
What made you go from LC to F250, then back to a 200?
