Deer season means a hitch hauler on the back and folding one of the seats down in the rear to make room for the bow case.
Other than the above, plus towing something heavy, the Jeep makes me happier in all other categories.
(and I liked my F150 FX4 supercab before I traded it in)

I made the jump out of a 95 F150 reg cab long bed on 32s.
I do miss not being able to just haul anything I want whenever I want.
I do not miss being everyones moving rig
I do not miss the 10 mpg on a good day.
I do not miss not being able to go wheelin because my truck is too wide!

My last 3 rides have be 98 Tacoma, 02 extended cab Tundra, 06 double cad Tundra. I do miss the truck sometimes but have alot more fun in the JK. Like others on this thread I bought a small trailer to pull behind the JK when I need it.

My first was a 92' 1/2 ton Chevy when I was 16... that was in 98'.
Second was a new 01' Dakota Quad Cab... which I still have, but is 4-sale.
Now its the 07' Wrangler.
Have to say I miss the power when on the highway, but wouldn't trade that top being down for anything.

Still a truck owner....in only that I need our Ram 3500 Diesel to haul our 5th wheel and also, it's paid for!!! However, I told my wife when it's time for a new bush truck for work I will take the families unlimited JK off her hands and buy her a new one that is how impressed I am with the JK and practical it is around our neck of the woods. Like many said.....utility trailer is the way to go if you need a pick-up box.

I got rid of my Tacoma before getting the Jeep. I have no regrets. I only used the truck for it's purpose 2-3 times per year so I'm not really missing anything.

Had an 04 F150 extended cab. Miss the bed like most here but I still have my trailer. The JK is much more fun to ride and I love the MPG difference b/t the two. But still miss the truck when I see one going down the road but would not trade the JK for a new truck.
Go for it and get the JK.
