Never had a pick-up truck until we got the dually and the camper so I can't compare. Truck is fun to drive with or without the camper so I am happy. Live in Seattle and was traveling home on 512 Wednesday with a load of pumpkins from a "you pick" place out in Carnation. 4 of us and the dog so we were in the car pool lane whizzing by bumper to bumper traffic. The lane ends right before the bridge so we had to merge in. I just turned on my blinker and started to nudge my way in and a big place just opened for us. Never had that happen with our other car, a Honda Fit.
