I needed a new vehicle this year and knew I wanted a small truck to help with my forever ongoing home renovation needs. A Ranger was definitely what I was targeting before ultimately falling in love with an 88 Jeep Comanche long bed. Perfect size truck that looks Comically small when parked next to any modern day truck

I really want a Kei Truck, and I can't be the only one.

I'd buy a electric truck with a full bed and a single cab if they made one. There are no options that don't have stunted beds that I've seen.

Yeah, because you're in a big truck, and not a sensibly sized car getting pinched between a brodozer and a concrete barrier everyday.

The Telo is also quite a nice small size, but unfortunately double the MSRP, with the base model costing 41k. It's targeting a different market segment. The Slate's theoretical low cost is a big draw, despite it being less featured (that's actually what makes it appealing, IMO).

Same. Poor decision on my part.

No I'm mostly in my Miata or my bike. Again, y'all just invent things.

Sorry, not trying to argue with you too if that came off wrong!

Ah, so you wouldn't recommend that someone buy one of these things as a daily driver? You only have the truck for doing truck stuff, right?

How else do you expect to fit two morbidly obese American parents and their morbidly obese children?

Very inefficient cars would burn a ton of fuel and then consumers would be paying a fortune in fuel taxes.

No worries! I'm not trying to do that either.

When a measure becomes a target it ceases to be a good measure.

OMG, there are two people in my neighborhood with them and I want one soooo bad. Only problem is I need to haul stuff to the landfill and that requires getting on the interstate which I don't think they're rated for in my state.

I live in Worst Carolina, and I know the feeling when you can just say you lost something in "the flood" and people just nod their heads like, "yep, I know".

For the sake of bigger profits.

I know some play farmers with dualies. One is for building a fence, one is for towing a 5th wheel and a toy hauler. The fence builder is similarly unregistered because it's "expensive enough to maintain"

They're a vanishing breed. I was searching Autotrader for a compact pickup, and the only thing I found was a Mazda B2300 ... from 1986. I can't use that - I'd be too worried about damaging it. It's a collector's item.

I have a 4 car garage, money to buy multiple used vehicles, and fix them up myself. Not many are so privileged.

My 08 hauls so many kayaks and has enabled so many cool adventures.
