In memory of my 95 extended cab

And now the Orange Turd wants these shits in Europe.
They are already here, usually driven by dudes who can barely see over the top of the steering wheel.
This is all a result of the absurdly idiotic chicken tax + American automobile companies refusing to build small trucks
Towing and having a real back seat. I’m really not sure what’s so complicated.
Don’t need a truck bed to tow. Need a strong frame and good electric engine (better torque)
I have an EV myself but towing with electric vehicles has its disadvantages.
Tounge weight and towing capacity is usually lowere by the exact difference in weight of the lithium ion batteries you are already hauling. usually 1 ton difference to its ICE counterpart.
So you’re saying they have shit frames? And need stronger frames to go with their atrong electric motors?
Parking is what’s complicated, mostly.
I have a midsize truck from a yester-decade that by now seems like a small truck. Even if it had a long bed and full cab it would be more practical, and I’d argue universally acceptable size and shape than full-sized trucks pulling even a crew cab + short bed combo. When you see a full size with a crew cab and a long or god help us extended bed, it just makes the blood boil. Because as we all know, on top of the “needs two parking spaces and probably takes 4-6 depending on the driver” situation, they have nothing in their beds practically all the time.
Trucks aren’t inherently a problem, and it’s okay if they’re unladen plenty of the time. But most people need a truck like mine; most people have a truck like the full-sized nonsense described above. That’s the problem.
Very few people need a truck like yours. They need one guy in their friend group with a truck like yours who they can ask for a favor every couple years.
In some places some substantial percentage need, like, an uncovered coated spray off space big enough to throw a deer into.
It’s not like people with trucks haul anything nowadays. Just a status symbol.
I got an 87 F150 that hauls trash and kayaks… what’s my status?
Someone who isn’t trying to compensate for masculinity, or aerodynamics.
You’re cool. You pass.
Depends, 300 302 or 351?
300, it will probably outlive all of us

Live happy. Look up WNCW.
I’ll ask again, any data to actually support this. Been asking 6 years now and rarely get a response. And when I do it’s t9 secondary sources that all link back to a private industry report with no methodology or a MSNBC report with some of the shittiest questions for a poll I’ve seen
Source: go outside. Hell, even in a home depot parking lot, with heavy samplibg bias in your favor.
Do you think there is some dataset that says that people make poor choices due to emotional immaturity?
Maybe there is a dataset that shows the rate of unladen trucks per mile?
You won’t get it because it doesn’t exist, asking for it is an absurd notion because you know it cannot be produced.
Not like the smol pp crew is busy logging miles to the grocery store and office.
I may not haul things every day, but when I do need to haul things, it’s worth it despite people like you being condescending about it. 🤷♂️

If only there was another way to acquire a vehicle created with the intention of moving large items. That way You-haul it for way less then owning maintaining and the price difference in gas. They should also make these available at every big box home improvement store. The cyber truck was created for you have a nice day.
Thank you for proving my point.
Thanks for making driving on the road with you awful.
Having a tiny bed is totally OK because the people that drive these silly things dont put anything back there anyway. They even have locking hard covers on them.
These aren’t trucks, they are lifestyle accessory vehicles for people who feel the need to prove that they are a big boy.
People that work in trades, construction or other manual work drive a van or they rock an old Chevy cruze to the jobsite. Why would they waste their own money on a truck when it doesn’t make them any more money?
I see plenty of these modern roided out status symbols on actual construction sites, probably used as commuters.

Here’s my usual comment about how awesome my 1996 Nissan hardbody pickup was, with its regular cab and 6 foot bed.
That sir is a trunk.
It’s a vestigial bed.

I’m kidding. I looked up Ute.
