Comanche vs Modern pickup pics

[hgeranium]

 

Anyone else have their David v. Goliath photos of their Comanches next to modern full size trucks? It’s always so comical to see the size disparity and to realize that most have the same size bed (or smaller) as the Comanche

I don’t have any next to full-size pickups, but I do have some next to a Chevy Colorado and a new JT. My truck looks small even with the 3” lift and 31s. It is funny how much more usable our beds are. 

 

Whats funny though is that I also have a 40 Chevy half ton pickup. The dimensions are almost the same as a Comanche, right down to the 113” wheel base.

Next to my ex's 2010? Tundra

 

 

Next to some massive Gladiators.

 

 

Not quite the same comparison, but my truck lifted 3" on 32s with a 7.5' camper that has a full queen bed next to what's considered a medium sized sprinter van. These always amazing me at how big they are.

 

 

Another fun one. Comparing an old TJ to a newer Wrangler. Even without the 35's they've ballooned up quite a bit.

 

 

And compared to what was considered a full-size truck when the Comanche was new.

 

 

And one for fun. Without the MASSIVE tires the F150 isn't much bigger than a lwb MJ.

Even with your lift and tires it's honestly ridiculous how tiny it still looks compared to these vehicles. I couldn't even tell you weren't stock ride height and tires lol

Right? And that van was a 2wd, low top roof, with smaller tires than mine. An old coworker has a 4wd high top on I think 31s and it's enormous.

X and C are next to each other too. I always have to retype XJ because I usually hit the C and get CJ instead.

The thing I find really funny is when I picked up my camper last year, the couple that runs and owns the company had just finished putting a camper on their brand new 25 tundra, and the campers had essentially the same amount of room inside them. And the tundra has a lower payload capacity than the Comanche with metric ton springs

You would think with phones getting bigger it would be easier to type on them. Maybe my fingers are just getting clumsier.

my new phone did not get bigger.    talk-to-text is a life saver

Even In 1995 trucks were giant 

oh well maybe just the big ones were lol 

my Comanche behind my 95 Freightliner when the computer on it went out 

 

 

Funny how small the fsj’s actually are

I genuinely think that the J truck cabs have less shoulder room and less room from the windshield to the rear window than MJs have.

Not the biggest truck to compare against but it puts into perspective how low Comanches are.
