If you actually need one (most don"t), I wouldn't buy a truck sold on the North American market since about 2005.

Even if you do need a truck, most of the models marketed here are stupidly oversized in all the areas that DON'T matter. As a builder, I don't need to be lifted into the stratosphere and have a teeny-tiny bed! I want to be able to fit an entire sheet of plywood in the bed and two people in the cab... ideally without having to hoist myself up into the seat!
