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.

Better to kill than be killed

This absolutely inhumane attitude is why we're dealing with people's monster trucks killing people on the road and greenhouse gas killing people the drivers haven't even met.

Especially considering a lot of collision deaths are pedestrians. Better to kill the pedestrain and get away with an accident than injure the pedestrian with the kei truck and end up getting sued.

As if you reasoned yourself into your position rather than being a coward.
