I just want a reasonably sized two door electric truck with a decent sized bed and only minimal space taken up by the frunk. I haul enough stuff that I could really use the cargo space, but I don't want to drive an aircraft carrier on wheels that doesn't fit into parking spaces. And I don't want it collecting as much data as possible on me, but that's not just a truck thing.
So, my options are basically leave the country, drive a 30+ year old ICE truck, or start my own car company. Because despite the fact that there is clearly demand for a smaller truck that's actually a truck, no one is interested in making them for the US market. Not when you can make a big useless luxury truck that has a much larger profit margin.
they don't make em like they used to
good thing too, but those were fun to driveI mean, it makes sense to me.
I know there's a lot of hate for pickup trucks, but they are useful. Not useful all the time, unless you use it for work, but that can be said for many things that we own. Obviously, most people don't use trucks for work, so they increasingly want more people-space and less (but not necessarily zero) cargo-space.
Cars and trucks in general are a problem, and the trend of increasing size of certain trucks is a problem, but imo if someone wants an SUV with a spot in the back to carry a Christmas tree or whatever, I don't see anything particularly wrong with that.
This doesn't belong in the humor community because it's seriously depressing.
I guess proving (again) so many pick up truck owners do not really need a pick up, they just need to feel manly for a change
I'd like to see a similar infographic of the height of the truck beds. Putting a tiny bed way up high is a sure sign the bed is ornamental.
wait until you see a cab-over design
🎶 "Like a
rockimpotent cock!" 🎶Yeah, let's compare different types of truck so we can complain about them
Always the same shit with you guys
A current gen regular cab long box F150 (you know, the same thing as the first one in the picture) measures 228" so 42% bed.
A 1995 F150 regular cab long box was 213" long, so 45% bed.
1983? 208" long.
1975 (first generation)? 205", 47% bed
And you know what, just for the heck of it, the 60s F100 was 202" long, that's 47.5% bed! The only way you got it to 50% bed was without a rear bumper and that was 50% on the dot, I don't know where they got their first truck but as far as I can find it's never existed!
Inline 6 were the smaller engine back in the day for trucks, no way they could make the hood super short.
Trucks, especially full sized ones haven't changed in size that much, they're mostly taller so it makes them seem much bigger than they were, the rest is mostly so they're actually safer than the thin boxes of the past.
