I'm willing to bet that most of these haters are urbanized at least a generation back and don't understand the value of being independent when it comes to long-distance transportation, and moving large objects around.
Nope I just know a hatchback is designed for this purpose and is more efficient if you don't haul trailers
There are a few owners of those tiny-penis trucks where I am. Most are for show but I've seen a couple used for work. Both times they had a trailer attached because they're fucking useless for moving large objects
Explain to us why literally every tradesman in every country bar the US gets by without a tiny-penis truck, in fact actually avoids them as they're so impractical
This is what trains should be for.
The vast majority of people do not need a vehicle to do this on a regular basis. You could rent one if you needed to. Stores like Lowes already offer this.
Hey, nothing wrong with work trucks, or someone who is hauling shit every month, but 70% of truck drivers admit they never use the bed, and 95% say that they have no plans to tow anything, ever. The F-150 is the most popular vehicle in the USA, and most of them are mall crawlers and pavement princesses that are emitting disproportional amounts of pollution, and are much riskier to be around on the road.
