    Lost a good friend last night. I loved this little pickup, but it became to small for my needs, so tough decisions had to be made.

    I went to the dealer at the dreaded AutoMall. I despise that place and come home with this guy.

    My first impression is that this thing is incredibly nimble for a 1/2 ton pickup, and extremely comfortable. I have no regrets (well not too many) I think once I get over the shock I am sure I will grow to feel the same way about this guy as i did the Tacoma.
