waiting for the inevitable “liberal owns conservative by dailying an ex military truck just to spite republicans”
I genuinely have more respect for people dailying industrial trucks, rather than pickups. I don’t care how silly it is, i can respect it to some degree. (i may be biased)
Unironically it would be fun to see. I don’t like the mpg but reusing it is better than sending it to a junk yard I suppose
the MPG would be horrid, but you can be sure they won’t bitch about gas prices lmao.
lol facts
I don’t understand why people buy pickup trucks. Unless you are a handyman or something.
There are certainly practical reasons for them, like if you do a lot of ATVing, you can negate the need for hauling it in a trailer and just drive it up into the bed. It can definitely be nice to have a truck bed for certain things, but many people buy trucks for stuff they do once a month (if that), and not something they do every day, like commuting.
As a homeowner there are shit ton of times that it is really nice to have a truck. There are a lot of things that I would prefer to throw in the back of a truck rather than the back of a van, SUV, or car. Dangerous chemicals, gas cans, gas equipment, anything that might be bug infested, anything that is significantly cheaper by the truck load (mulch, dirt, stone, ect.), anything loaded by heavy machinery, anything that won’t fit in a van (furniture, appliances, ect), things that stink, things that are muddy, ect, ect, ect.
And if I had the money to have a spare vehicle, I would probably get another truck. But right now a minivan hauls a lot more people and I can do most of what I need with it and a small utility trailer. But don’t think that the utility trailer isn’t a huge pain in the ass all by itself.
When I was much younger, it was fairly typical that when a family needed a 3rd vehicle for their kids, they would buy a cheap beater of a truck for the kids. The trucks were slow, could take abuse, limited the number of other idiots you could pack inside, and had all the utility of being a truck when you needed it.
The problem is that those kids got used to having a truck. It became a personal image thing. Trucks got faster, the ride improved, they got not just more comfortable but fucking luxurious inside. They went from utility vehicles to overpriced status symbols.
Even worse is that the same shit is happening with minivans. I went to buy another minivan this year and they are not only all luxury lined on wheels, but there was a shortage and they wanted more than MSRP for the stupid thing. They had plenty of every other vehicle on the lot, but they can’t make minivans fast enough to meet demand.Why would you drive dangerous shit or truckload of mulch yourself? Don’t you people have delivery services over there?
So, your solution is to just be rich? That is so helpful, thanks, I hadn’t thought of that. Hell, now that I am just going to be rich, why even save money by doing it myself? I’ll just pay my new yard guys that I can suddenly afford, to do it for me.
Wut? Delivery is much cheaper than hauling yourself. Are you bloody nuts?
Pickups for non construction purposes are the dumbest shit ever. You literarily have half the car that is useless for transporting people.
And even for construction purposes, most trucks nowadays are kinda pointless. A 4ft bed is good for hauling like 1 bike placed diagonally, much less a typical sized piece of lumber or plywood.
Can’t beg a place to sell you a 6ft bed unless you want to wait for it to come off the manufacturing line.
Funny thing, you can put that bike into a BMW 3 Series no problems.
