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

300, it will probably outlive all of us

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?

And now the Orange Turd wants these shits in Europe.

They are already here, usually driven by dudes who can barely see over the top of the steering wheel.

Most new trucks are basically just luxury SUVs for men who stomp their feet and say they want the boyyyy car, not the mom one.

Note to any offended truck owners: I said most! Some of my best friends are truck owners!

Actually true! And the best part is that my truck-owning friends are petite women. But they both do actual farm work in addition to their day jobs, so their trucks are beat up and dirty workhorses.

They insist on lending me a truck any time I need to do a big lumber run to home depot. You know that old saying about instead of owning X you want multiple generous friends who own X, lol.

In addition, I have been busy this summer and I have literally spent a couple grand on lumber for what is hopefully a once in a lifetime project. Believe it or not, I'm still driving an old Mazda3 and didn't have to buy a truck! (Granted, my initial purchase was so big that I would have paid the delivery fee even if I daily drove a Canyonero with a trailer)

Or just get a rental for that day, unless they live in the middle of nowhere. But in the latter case they will know someone with that type of truck for sure.

They literally don't fit on European streets.

Ever considered a trailer?

You need a more aerodynamic cover for the bed, then you've invented the hatchback

And more children die nowadays for the sake of... what? Small egos?

refusing to build small trucks

It's taxes, yes, if they build larger trucks then the metrics they use to calculate taxes drops.

Kinda like the Škoda Felicia pickup.

Weird. Because 95% of these I see have zero passengers, cargo, or things being hauled. They are taking up 4 parking spots, though!

Not likely to happen. Both by culture and directly street/parking/garage size.

Yeah, which is why I use my sports car. Different tools and such.
