I get that they and all their up-voters might have valid reasons for needing a one. But at this point I’m not sure if they can even imagine buying anything other than a truck.

Wishing upon the stars that the oversized cars may still be oversized, but a tick smaller. And that last one just needs a Van.

    These commenters at least sound like they want to use a truck for its purpose, they want something smaller, easier and cheaper to drive, and with a large bed. They seem to have issues with the massive bloat we’ve seen. I’ve got no issues with people who genuinely use trucks and want a functional truck, my issues are with the ego babies, office workers who genuinely never use the bed or never need the power a truck can offer.

    I worked for a small “mom and pop” style roofing company for a few years while going to school, and when the owner decided to retire he just gave me the pickup I’d used. That was 10 years ago or so. Still got it, and still love it. It’s a 2000 Mazda B3000 with extended cab and a toolbox. The paint is peeled and the windows/locks/everything are manual but it starts, runs, hauls like a champ. I’ve got a little piece of land and it’s the VIP around here. Boy I tell you whut.

    Ford F-x50 pickup? Check.

    Some ridiculous manly Edition, like Raptor Edition or Avalanche Edition? Check.

    Small bed that can’t even hold a sheet of plywood? Check.

    Extended cab that can’t even hold seat at least 8 people? Check.

    It is clean, undamaged, and clearly not used by the owner for hauling anything? Check.

    That’s not a pickup truck. It’s an antivaxer minivan.

      Don’t forget the 12 foot lift kit, the go to hell 90 inch wheels with tires that are 1 inch thick and stick out a couple of feet past the fenders, the rolling coal package because just fuck you mother nature.
