wrong place to ask this but.......
does it come a time when you tire from driving a full size pick-up and long for an easy to get in and out of car?
most of you will die in your trucks.

It’s a WHOLE lot easier for me to get in and out if a pickup than a car....bad back, hip, and two knees.... Buzz, maybe a smaller SUV as opposed to a car...

Getting in and out of a crossover SUV is easier to me than folding up into a car.

We kept my wifes old car when we bought her a new little SUV last year. I run it back and forth to work now. 30MPG vs the 10-12 that my truck gets, plus saving the wear and tear. I could never go completely without my truck tho.

Try a crossover. I get in and out of my truck way easier than the car. My knees aren’t as bad as some but they hate my fat arse.

Look at the infinity for luxury or the VW for quality.

I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

If your truck is hard to get in/out of get a shorter one.
I've spent my share of time in a car... you fall into them but you have to get back out some time. Personally as a 6-footer, not the skinniest in the world and not real flexible, I find it much more comfortable getting into/out of a moderate height truck than a car.

Get a small truck like the new ranger, or a small Toyota.

The wreck Tiger Woods had made me semi rethink my Jeep Wrangler. I don't know anything about that wreck, such as how fast, what he hit, etc. I was curious and looked up what the car was--2021 Genesis G90. I don't know anything about that car other that it looks safer than this cracker box I'm driving. There just isn't much between the coconut and the pavement in the Jeep if it got rolled. Not much up front either.
I had somebody pull out in front of me in my Dodge truck a few weeks ago on a state highway--65 mph. I guess the rear wheels aren't anti-lock? I slid all the way past the point where the person pulled out from. I ended up in the opposite side median. If there had been somebody in the oncoming lane I wouldn't have been able to swerve left. That little bitty SUV would have been a splatter on the front of my truck. I have no idea how I would have fared, likely hurt. If I had been in my Jeep??? It scared the **** out of me!!
I walked in and told my wife I want a 3/4 ton truck with a Ranch Hand front end.

I have always had pickups until now. I still have a 3/4 ton diesel flatbed for when needed but my daily driver is a Hellcat. I love it.

I drove pickups daily from age 14 to 25. Then I went to an Olds Aurora coupled with a 1986 Silverado for when I needed a truck. Next two vehicles were cars. Drove an F150 SuperCrew for a while. Then I bought a 2016 Soul. I now have a 2020 Sonata. The Soul was the easiest vehicle, by far, to get in and out of. I love my Sonata, it has every option Hyundai offers, but it is a bit low and harder on my knees and back to get in and out of. The gas mileage and get up and go when I need it makes up for it.
