I wanted to get one of those tiny grandpa trucks when they were going for like $4k new, but apparently they’re illegal everywhere in the US. We’re stuck with $60k “entry level” monster trucks.
They’re illegal in some places, but I think they’re mostly fine. The deal is you can’t import a foreign made car unless it’s more than 25 years old, so the poor American car companies don’t have to compete.
The real scam is the importers get 'em in Japan for a couple hundred bucks at auction, haul 'em over here and sell 'em for 8k plus. They’re pretty rad, but parts can be kind of a bitch.
I’ve got some big ass American iron too, but it’s old and actually worth a shit. Never understood lifts you need and ladder for, and 3’ beds. Totally worthless vanity boosters.
Trucks are for doing shit, not hauling your sorry ass to the grocery store.
Exactly. Take a 1989s LWB F250 with crewcab for example - full length bed, carries a work crew, can do a reasonable amount off road, and can be absolutely beaten on for years.
Clearly designed by someone who hasn’t used a pickup truck to it’s real potential.

I thought the roof was attached to the truck and it was like a mobile hangout
Chicken coop.
Yeah, this isn’t rocket surgery
Also, yay for an actual work truck, and not one of the weird oversize impractical monstrosities that so many people seem to swoon over these days

That, I can respect.
