I run a full size regular cab 1/2 ton for work

It's a small truck to me , I'm 6'5"

Don't those little trucks come with a full size price tag ?

My 08 dodge dakota is very comfortable. has a v8 so plenty of ponies. It has 4wd but off road capability is a bit limited. My old 98 ranger would go anywhere but was a bit rough. My jeep gladiator is very comfortable. V6 but pretty good horsepower. lots of cabin room but smallish bed. Its also loud. I dont have super aggresive tires on it so its just not real quiet inside.

I bought a Tacoma 2 months ago. Seems to ride good enough for me. It's not Cadillac but for sure better than our Ford work trucks.

If your going used the first generation tundra. It's more comfortable and around the same size as the new tacomas.

My 22 Tacoma rides really nice. Decent fuel mileage but not real peppy.

Thanks.
How’s the 4x4 and AC on the Tacomas? That’s all I care about. Heat would be nice but I can put on clothes to get warm.

When I bought my '18 Chevy 1500, I really wanted a Tacoma. After driving it and pricing it, there was no contest. The 'yota rode like a logging truck, got worse gas mileage, has less towing and cargo capacity and cost the same, or slightly more. Mebbe, things have changed since then?

It's the best stock 4x4 I've ever had for off road. I had a TRD off rd package 2021.

Personally I think they ride like crap and are nit very comfortable. But they are top notch reliable and there’s a reason there’s a whole following of them as off road vehicles kinda like the truck version of a Jeep.

I’ll add if things like towing or cargo capacity are super important to you they aren’t great in that area. Fuel economy is nothing to be excited with. Cost is high. Where they shine is overall lifetimecost. And off road they’ll take you places you really shouldn’t be going.
