    because 4runners are too expensive

    Because those are the literal only two types of 4x4 in existence, right? Smaller cars don’t ever have 4x4 capability

    Also because it literally never stops raining it’s useful to have a place to put wet things outside of the cab

    Plastic liner or bin in the trunk. Bonus that it won’t keep getting more wet

    I love seeing people insecure as fuck because hey actually know deep down they don’t need the truck, so they come up with “reasons” they need it

      Spoken like someone who’s never had a car buried up to the rocker panels in mud or snow and needed extra ground clearance to get out.

        Prolly cuz I’m not stupid enough to drive my car off-road if it ain’t capable of handling the terrain.

        I have taken appropriately lifted vehicles off-road many times, though, and many of them weren’t big ass lifted trucks because that’s rarely what’s actually needed. Oh, and even if you do need said lift, a truck ain’t even the best vehicle for that purpose.

        But go on, keep pretending the .01% of truck owners actually travelling through 4ft of mud to get to and from their farm are the normal use case for trucks.

      We need ground clearance too lol

      Also awd isn’t 4x4

      Also if you put wet things inside the cab and turn on the heater you are going to have a condensation nightmare

      Maybe stay in your own lane gamer dude

        And there are vehicles other than trucks or 4-runnerd that have that.

        Also awd isn’t 4x4

        Never said AWD, I said 4x4

        Also if you put wet things inside the cab

        Never said put it in the cabin, I said put it in the trunk

        Maybe stay in your own lane gamer dude

        I’d love to, but these oversized pavement princesses are forcing me to dodge around them because they can’t control a big, heavy vehicle.

            Which small vehicles

            Before you play the goalposts game: I said smaller, not small, though some listed would probably count as small:

            New vehicles

            And since price was the initial complaint: [used](https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=used+small+4x4, though if that gives you too many trucks

            You’ll notice almost immediately that there are many 4x4 vehicles with ground clearance that aren’t also gigantic trucks that will go unused for their main intended purpose.

              First link, most vehicles aren’t available here. Yeah I totally wish we got the Suzuki Jimny and Dacia duster but we don’t

              So the only options are Tacoma (expensive) and ranger (no longer a small truck)

              Subaru is popular here but people prefer domestic vehicles due to parts availability here

              Second link just shows me a bunch of body on frame vehicles (full sized trucks and suvs)?

              You’ve got me totally confused gamer dude, what models do you want my neighbours to drive exactly? Why are you so condescending, especially considering you have zero knowledge on this topic

      Uh oh, found the terminally online guy.

      Nobody is “insecure” about owning a truck, because normal people just use their vehicle as they see fit. They aren’t worried about what some basement dweller thinks of their vehicle use lol

      Peak brain dead take of the whole thread ⭐

        Homie I can see you and at least one other person whining in every thread possible about how your use case is valid

        They aren’t worried about what some basement dweller thinks

        Nice ad hominem, bud, really shows you’re not defensive. How about the opinion of someone on land with livestock, yet doesn’t feel the need to own a truck? Isn’t that, like, the exact person you guys claim needs one so desperately after all?

          I’m really confused as to why you think people need to justify owning a truck. Do I, or anyone, owe you or anyone else an explanation on why we have a certain type of vehicle?

          My use case is valid, simply because I deem it so.

          Others use cases are valid, simply because they deem it so.

          It’s really that simple.
