because 4runners are too expensive

Because those are the literal only two types of 4x4 in existence, right? Smaller cars don't ever have 4x4 capability

Also because it literally never stops raining it's useful to have a place to put wet things outside of the cab

Plastic liner or bin in the trunk. Bonus that it won't keep getting more wet

I love seeing people insecure as fuck because hey actually know deep down they don't need the truck, so they come up with "reasons" they need it

Spoken like someone who’s never had a car buried up to the rocker panels in mud or snow and needed extra ground clearance to get out.

Prolly cuz I'm not stupid enough to drive my car off-road if it ain't capable of handling the terrain.

I have taken appropriately lifted vehicles off-road many times, though, and many of them weren't big ass lifted trucks because that's rarely what's actually needed. Oh, and even if you do need said lift, a truck ain't even the best vehicle for that purpose.

But go on, keep pretending the .01% of truck owners actually travelling through 4ft of mud to get to and from their farm are the normal use case for trucks.
