Can't have nice things

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.

This is all a result of the absurdly idiotic chicken tax + American automobile companies refusing to build small trucks

Depends, 300 302 or 351?
300, it will probably outlive all of us

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?

They are already here, usually driven by dudes who can barely see over the top of the steering wheel.

Most new trucks are basically just luxury SUVs for men who stomp their feet and say they want the boyyyy car, not the mom one.
Note to any offended truck owners: I said most! Some of my best friends are truck owners!
Actually true! And the best part is that my truck-owning friends are petite women. But they both do actual farm work in addition to their day jobs, so their trucks are beat up and dirty workhorses.
They insist on lending me a truck any time I need to do a big lumber run to home depot. You know that old saying about instead of owning X you want multiple generous friends who own X, lol.
In addition, I have been busy this summer and I have literally spent a couple grand on lumber for what is hopefully a once in a lifetime project. Believe it or not, I'm still driving an old Mazda3 and didn't have to buy a truck! (Granted, my initial purchase was so big that I would have paid the delivery fee even if I daily drove a Canyonero with a trailer)

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.

They literally don't fit on European streets.

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.
️Ever considered a trailer?

You need a more aerodynamic cover for the bed, then you've invented the hatchback

refusing to build small trucks
It's taxes, yes, if they build larger trucks then the metrics they use to calculate taxes drops.

Cue the Australians laughing in Ute.
Kinda like the Škoda Felicia pickup.

Towing and having a real back seat. I'm really not sure what's so complicated.
Weird. Because 95% of these I see have zero passengers, cargo, or things being hauled. They are taking up 4 parking spots, though!

Not likely to happen. Both by culture and directly street/parking/garage size.

Parking is what's complicated, mostly.
Yeah, which is why I use my sports car. Different tools and such.

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.
So you're just making shit up and projecting. Well, at least your honest about what your doing. Makes me feel quite a bit less gaslit even I hear all these screeches about not using a truck properly. Makes total sense how is so out of line with reality.
