That's very true. I bought a quad-cab midsize truck and it feels like the ultimate compromise:

- Not amazing at hauling people

- Only OK payload

- Not the best gas mileage

- Too expensive (but still cheaper than other midsize trucks -- $36k)

With how much everything costs this truck really _had_ to be a compromise. It had to be able to do everything. I'd have much rather had an old crappy truck and then a normal family car, but those seem to have all been priced out.
