    Here's my usual comment about how awesome my 1996 Nissan hardbody pickup was, with its regular cab and 6 foot bed.

    I have a midsize truck from a yester-decade that by now seems like a small truck. Even if it had a long bed and full cab it would be more practical, and I'd argue universally acceptable size and shape than full-sized trucks pulling even a crew cab + short bed combo. When you see a full size with a crew cab and a long or god help us extended bed, it just makes the blood boil. Because as we all know, on top of the "needs two parking spaces and probably takes 4-6 depending on the driver" situation, they have nothing in their beds practically all the time.

    Trucks aren't inherently a problem, and it's okay if they're unladen plenty of the time. But most people need a truck like mine; most people have a truck like the full-sized nonsense described above. That's the problem.

    Towing and having a real back seat. I'm really not sure what's so complicated.

    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

    Parking is what's complicated, mostly.

    I see plenty of these modern roided out status symbols on actual construction sites, probably used as commuters.

    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.

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

    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.

    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

    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?
