Cool trucks and great pics, man! (Funny how today's "mid-sized trucks" are getting bigger than yesterday's "full-sized" ones!)

On a tangent here. This is a phenomenon not confined to trucks. My 1979 Honda Accord was much smaller than today’s Civic, and similar to, or smaller than, the outgoing sub-compact Honda Fit. I find it amusing that manufacturers continuously market “bigger is better” updated models, then introduce new models at the smaller end to replace them. I had a 1957 Jeep CJ-5, and wish that I could get it back. Bigger isn‘t always better, just bigger.

I guess what is old is new again. In the 50's and 60's cars were HUGE, then in the 70's they got small again (oil embargo) and it seems like ever since then things have been creeping back up to HUGE again. Bigger is definitely not better, IMO.
