BuT I NeED mY TRuCk fOr WOrK 🥴
My buddy is a general contractor and actually does need a truck for his job. Ironically he has a really hard time finding one with a large enough bed for what he needs anymore. Most of the trucks being built now are designed with hauling groceries home from the Costco in mind, not hauling lumber and sheets of drywall.
My brother is in the market for a truck. He wants it to actually put things in the back of it, specifically a motorcycle.
I know that there are trucks out there that have beds big enough, there has to be, but holy moly it's like every truck bed is made for 3 grocery bags and a 6 pack. I can haul more in the back of my GTI then some of these trucks out here. When the hell did they turn so useless??
If I have to hook up a trailer to carry most things what's the point of a truck
Last year I bought a truck with an 8ft bed. Its very unusual to see a single cab long bed truck that's as new as mine (2012) without it being someone's fleet truck, in fact, it's the only one I've seen for sale locally. The next cheapest truck was twice the price, had twice the miles, but it also had a 4 door cab and a little 5 foot bed. It's apparently what most people want.
I don't get short bed trucks at all. If you can't lay down in it it's not a bed. You're better off with a station wagon in 95% of situations.
Or a minivan. You can load a lot into a Dodge caravan that has the seats removed or folded up.
Also has the mirrors on trailer extension so pavement princess can look bigger but they never connect a trailer
And if they do pull a trailer, it's 20 under the speed limit in the passing lane.
As a carpenter, I'm just curious how you think the building you live in got built?
Do you really think this clown car is used as a work vehicle?
these trucks are always used by men who look like they are very "confident" in their masculinity, much like pitbull owners.
Exactly, thank you 🫱🫱
My house was built by a mason long before cars even existed.
Seeing as the walls are made of 8x8 logs, I have no clue.
If the local contractors are any indication, they probably haul their stuff on and in an old minivan.
Not with a truck like this, I can promise you lol. This is not the truck of someone who needs to do any work with it. Or even go offroad with it.
This is an SUV for a man who who's masculinity is too fragile to own a "feminine" SUV or minivan, so they stick a little tiny bed on the back and he can walk around saying that he uses his truck for Serious Business.
In my country they use vans like a Mercedes Sprinter because you can actually keep your stuff dry and even make a little workshop in there. The only use I can think of for a pickup truck is maybe gardeners so they don't have to haul a trailer for their green waste? Could also maybe be useful to haul strawbales if you have a small farm. But you can just do that in a trailer behind your van as well, and your equipment will be dry inside the van and you can leave the trailer when you don't need it.
This is precisely why they can't have houses in China because all the roads are tiny and they can't fit a truck big enough to haul a 2x4.
Right?
Mine is built from enough concrete and brick to sink most ships. And most wood frame houses are built from timber trucked in on a flatbed.
Nobody does large amounts of hauling with a pickup.
They get a transit van if they actually need to move things around.
