How often do you haul stuff you need a truck for?
I use it for work so pretty much every single day but that's besides the point. It would be awesome even if I had no need for one.
I was just curious. You mentioned just liking the truck enough that I wondered if it was more fashion or function. Nothing wrong with fashion of course, who wants to drive a vehicle they don't like the look of? I have feelings about efficiency, but that's your wallet, not mine.
I want to get a small truck for my wife (she's always got a project going that would benefit from cargo space) but small trucks are tough to come by these days. I wish Rangers weren't as big as F150s used to be.
Crucially, that wouldn't be better carried in a van.
Huh? Vans typically get about the same shit gas mileage as trucks.
Are you paid by some truck company? Vans absolutely better carry. They also have cover, so the stuff you carry doesn't get wet.
There's covers for trucks too
Why does that matter though? A van is just as big and heavy with even worse visibility around you.
You're aware that mirrors exist, right? And that vans also often have back windows? And that the visibility is actually worse with those big trucks?
Yer talkin' bull, lad.
Asking the real questions.
