I currently have my Grandby on a 2006 F150 with a 6.5' box and have been overall, pretty happy with the set up other than the 13mpg milage when loaded. I leased the truck with the idea that I would just buy it at the end of the lease (kinda like a 3 year test drive). The lease is about up and with the current truck market, I can buy a new 2008 for about the same price as my lease buyout so I'm back in the truck market. I had no issues with the 150 and figured it has been a good truck but now my options are opened up again.
One option I am looking at is a 2009 Tacoma Double Cab TRD Sport. I would sell my Grandby and put an Eagle on the Taco. Just wondering how current Taco/FWC owners like this set up? I'm concerned with overloading the truck and needing to do $$$$ in suspension upgrades to make it work well (beyond basic airbags). What about mounting with the composite bed.....any issues here?
If it was not for already having owned a FWC and really enjoying it, this would be the truck I would purchase. The truck is also my daily driver so I am trying to stick with half tons as I don't really have the need for a 3/4 or one-ton diesel at this point and the camper comes off when not in use.
Any input is appreciated. Thanks.
