You misunderstood my comment. Yes these can be "work trucks". (By the way...we all know W/T really means stripper model....the cheapest version. It doesn't mean it can work any harder than the other trims) They can do a good amount of light duty work. That's all fine and dandy.

Anyways...what I meant was is if you really need to do some decent towing or hauling then you should be looking at full size. Frankly it annoys me a bit to see folks asking for more powerful engines, with a low gearing ratio, and high payload or towing rating in these trucks. I have to ask why?? To get that, we'd end up with a midsize that ends up getting crappy MPG all the while not being able to do the same work as a full size. It would end up being another failure making the same mistakes as the previous generation of midsizers.

Instead these trucks should be focused on efficiency, and affordability with work ability playing second fiddle to those things.
