Comparison left vs right for a craftsman who doesnt know which one he should buy:

  • l/r same bed size

  • r lower bed for way easier loading/unloading

  • r less likely to crash

  • r less fuel consumption and costs

  • r less expensive to repair

  • r easy to park

  • r easy to get around in narrow places like crowded construction sites or towns

  • r not participating in road arms race

  • l You get taken serious by your fellow carbrained americans because ““trucks”” are normalized and small handy cars are ridiculed.

So unless you are a fragile piece of human, choose the right one.

    Every sedan bro think sedans are justified. And they trot out all the same points you just made.

    I offer you challenge: count every sedan you see, and record whether or not it has all seats filled. I actually did that for a month, and its literally below 1% usage.

    That’s what you sound like.

    Yes, too many people have large trucks that don’t really use them for their purpose, but some of them are not that different from a sports car or sedan when not hauling a load for mileage and shouldn’t be expected to be used 24/7. SUVs are probably worse overall than trucks when it comes to excess unused space and mediocre mileage, but nobody complains about those.

      Sports cars sure, but sedans? Buuuuullshit.

      and shouldn’t be expected to be used 24/7.

      Why not?

      Are you serious, people complain about oversized SUVs all the time. Please.

      You’ve now reached the tone of desperate justification that people with oversized vehicles always fall back to.

        It’s my truck and I shouldn’t have to haul things in it 24/7 to justify its use to you.

          If you don’t think you should have to justify it’s use, then why have you made all these comments attempting to do just that?

            Oh you have me mistaken. I’m not justifying my use of my truck to you guys. I’m simply informing y’all that despite what you believe, trucks are needed. I do believe that lift kits shouldn’t be a thing, they compromise the truck. But not everyone out here that owns a truck is an asshole.

            People are wondering why I need a truck and it’s simple, I wouldn’t be able to do my job without one. But people in these threads often forget that and think “hurr durr trucks should be banned.”
