    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.

        Or just get a rental for that day, unless they live in the middle of nowhere. But in the latter case they will know someone with that type of truck for sure.
