Ideal trapping rig for me to work out of I cannot believe working out of most full sized trucks is as easy as reaching into a truck for what a guy needs

Exactly how I think Jerry. I've got big trucks but no way I would ever use one for serious trapping. If you can't reach everything you are wasting alot of time and causing alot of aggravation. I've been using little trucks since 1980 for any serious trapping.

As long as it has a 6ft bed I’m interested. Or either the seats let all the way back. Got to have a place to sleep if the need arises. 4x4 and AC are a MUST!!

I had a S10 and Ranger and both came in handy. You will laugh but i find my Toyota mini van (without the rear seats) to be much more practical the the little trucks. Only thing it needs is 4x4.

Didn't know you lost a D-50 in fire Jerry, that sucks.
They are a good rig, I've had a couple.
And go anywhere.

I like to set with the little truck but don’t mind checking the line with the bigger truck if I’m not adding a bunch of sets it works out that way. The little truck gets a guy through the tighter trails and the bigger trucks don’t get beat up then. Put a few grand in a little truck drive it for 8-10 years and your ahead with no payments or high insurance costs.

I just wish the Tacoma wasn't a $40,000 truck now. I kind of doubt I'll comfortable be able to drive a Stout, if I can I may consider one, stickered up "trucks" even if they are small are much better sales vehicles for me compared to cars.

The only issue I have with small trucks is being 6'2" and 250. But as long as I got some head room and leg room ill drive it like I stole it.

6'4" 225. The New Tacoma wasn't bad but my wife nor I could sit in the passenger seat with a baby seat in back which is why I no longer have a small truck. Easier to just drive my work truck (F350).

There's a lot of fullsize trucks in the fleet I work on. Boss man asks them if they can get but with a smaller truck like a ranger or a maverick. They claim they can't, and when we look to see what they're carrying, they'll have something like a couple shovels and some 5 gallon buckets in the back. Most of them could get buy with a Focus or a Malibu. They just want the truck because it strokes their ego.

They fit me well the Tacoma has a funky windshield post making it tough to get in and out of almost roll bar like. The older rebuild type truck a guy could fit a bucket seat to fit a guy since it’s not new and your going to customize it anyway.

I have a 1 ton Dodge diesel, 4 door, long bed. Great work truck for hauling loads, pulling a trailer, and I use it to haul elk hunters in the fall. Sucks getting around though, my Toyotas will go a whole lot more places. The new Tacomas are getting too big also. The 80's Toyotas were the smallest and fit the most places, but first generation Tacomas (97 and newer so the beefed the weak front end up that was in the first couple years) were a good compramise, a little bigger, but more comfortable, good clearance, good reliability, without being too big or having all the "idiot-proof" bells and whistles that are detrimental to actually using it as a four wheel drive. I never trap out of my Dodge and only hunt out of it when I am guiding clients, I like the truck but it is pretty helpless if you leave the main road and it takes 40 acres to turn around.

Toyota Stout.
I wonder if that name is a marketing ploy on words,as in International Scout.
Scouts were the go to for backwoods travel for years.
Lack of available parts made me get rid of mine.

Toss a posi in those little trucks with lug tires and they go about anyplace and get you back out, great trapping rigs I add on to or fill in my line every check so I have no need to haul everything on day one.
