Rickochet Steve, did you take a look at a Tundra or Tacoma?
No, don't NEED a truck. The Maverick consideration was that it was cheap enough to add as a 4th vehicle (keep the Highlander) and be handy for the occasional truck-errand. I've been using the Highlander for truck-errands and we need an SUV for family reasons. We came to the decision yesterday that adding a 4th vehicle was not the right decision, so we decided to replace the Highlander. So we keep the Mini Cooper in Florida, the Mercedes in VA and drive the Highlander back and forth.
