    That thread was specifically telling craftspeople that they could do their jobs with the little Kei truck rather than a larger one.

    If you use your truck for actual work, you want it to be able to do the job. The Kei truck cannot do the same job as the big truck.

    It was a stupid comparison. It’s like telling someone that they don’t need a bucket truck to work on overhead lines or do tree trimming, they can just use a ladder hauled around in a Kei truck. See? Stupid as fuck.

    No, the correct post to make would have been to point out the obvious fact that 95% of those huge trucks sold are not used for any sort of work at all, they’re just expensive and obnoxious fashion statements.

      Funny, though, that in Europe, nearly nobody drives a pickup truck. Not even craftspeople. In this city, I’ve seen one (one!) private pickup, two used by the cities greens department, one by the forest department, and one by a gardening company (and they are a big gardening company, but they have real trucks for most of the work).
