    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. 🤷‍♂️

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

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

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

              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.

                      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.

                        Does a trailer tow by itself? I'm hauling cars.

                          Don't need a truck bed to tow. Need a strong frame and good electric engine (better torque)

                          I completely agree. I'd love a shorter bed + more seat room and maybe small cap. I only really need the towing the bed only gets used 10 times a year.

                            Source: go outside. Hell, even in a home depot parking lot, with heavy samplibg bias in your favor.

                            So truthyness and your gut feeling.

                            It's insane, you've got people screeching nobody needs this because of biased perceptions.

                            I'm my observation most truck users use then quite a bit. I'm on the light side and two 2k a year and maybe 10 home depot trips , and all my peers are using them even more 🤷‍♂️. Maybe not as scientific as a rough survey of a parking lot and making assumptions about clean vehicles not being used properly!

                              I think you might have a weeeee bit of a bias 🤣

                              Every single response has been one giant projection and nerds screeching about their observations in parking lots as if they man a damn thing.

                              In my observation most trucks get used pretty heavily. If not the first owner almost always the second

                                So you don't actually have anything that says otherwise. Im sorry; your entire argument is invalid and rules of the code d'ebatemebro say you get ten minutes in the shame corner or ritual suicide. The shame corner is live streamed.

                                  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.

                                  I think you know what I meant. Most people who need a truck need a truck like mine. Obviously most people don't need a truck. I only have one because the last few years have required a lot of work on my house and yard. Whenever all that wraps up I'll swap it back out for another car.

                                  People toss out the "you just need a buddy with a truck" or "you just need to rent one" thing so much but those things require you to bend your life around, say, inconveniencing people to borrow / hoping their schedule accommodates, or, having to go collect, use, pay for, and return during a narrow window of time a rented truck, which, yes, is fine for one day, but if again, you've got years of unpredictable needs ahead of you, it's not a sin to buy a cheap, well-used truck as a second or third vehicle so you've always got it when you need it. And in that case, those "most people" need a truck like mine_.

                                    Having a tiny bed is totally OK because the people that drive these silly things dont put anything back there anyway. They even have locking hard covers on them.

                                    These aren't trucks, they are lifestyle accessory vehicles for people who feel the need to prove that they are a big boy.

                                    People that work in trades, construction or other manual work drive a van or they rock an old Chevy cruze to the jobsite. Why would they waste their own money on a truck when it doesn't make them any more money?

                                      As someone who has an extended bed standard cab 2001 Tacoma I can assure you I do many things with my truck bed. Just as the 4 metal Jerry cans from the 1960s! They are doing something called looking cool, also the bed has gotten used for the most random crap because my life is just that way, I smuggled a couple trees from Idaho through Death Valley with it.
