I know what I have isn't up to current standards but I try to use my Comanche as a truck as much as I can. I've looked at newer pickups but as I don't plan to get rid of this one it wouldn't make sense to have two. It's good for general recreational use like camping, carrying my kayaks and bikes, etc. I also use it for picking up building supplies and chasing down parts. It's not my main tow vehicle but it can handle what I have when needed.
One thing I would miss with a newer pickup would be the ability to grab things out of the bed by simply reaching in over the sides. I camp with several guys who have newish F150s, Silverados, etc. They all carry a small stool and climb in from the back. I've seen everyone of them standing up in their bed tossing things out. I can't remember the last time I stood up in mine.
Last thing; I can work on this. I have no clue on new vehicles.
