FWIW, here's my take:
You want a vehicle that gets good MPG's, get a econo-box car.
You want a vehicle to tow, get a truck (your choice--they are all good).
You want a vehicle that rides, smooth, get a Caddy or Lincoln.
You want a vehicle that will haul "X" but know your in a vehicle built to haul, get a truck.
MFR's have to decide wether or not they want their trucks to either ride smooth or harsh and yet still retain HD payloads/towing. I bought a truck to tow and haul with. Doesn't bother me any if it rides a tad rough and if I feel the pebble I ran over. If just cruising and not towing, will take the car.
