I had a f150 that sucked as a daily driver. Hard to park and no reasonably secure, discrete place to put things that I didn't want stolen while I was in a store or hotel. I only used the bed a few times per year and towed a few times per year. The quality was very low as were creature comforts. When the Fird engine prematurely died, I looked for an alternative. My used, low mileage Cayenne TT is more versatile and was not as expensive as a new truck. It does everything better, including towing. The only missing piece is the truck bed. I have a 5x8 trailer that solves that problem (and I don't have to drag it around behind me every day like the bed of my truck). My wife and daughter both can drive the cayenne (couldn't/wouldn't drive the truck). Gas mileage is about the same. The Cayenne is much more reliable and repair costs have been lower. When I travel, I can actually stop and go into a store, restroom/rest area or restaurant because my suitcases are locked inside an alarmed vehicle. It comfortably seats 5.
