I had a loaner pickup for a while when my car was in the shop for a month (different story) but it definitely had some value. I found myself able to conveniently do a lot of things that I’d have needed a trailer for otherwise specifically because I wouldn’t want to get the inside of an SUV dirty.
But I wouldn’t want one as my daily driver.

The F150 for example is currently 21 city / 28 highway, which in 2020 is not competitive (e.g. Subaru Outback/Nissan Rogue get 26/33, and Toyota RAV4 26/35). Creature comforts are comparable to SUVs, the driving/handling is "fine," and while the prices start out higher because they sell more there're more deals to be found too. I could see myself driving a hybrid Crew Cab-style truck.
- brightball 6y agoA long time ago Ford was working on a hydraulic hybrid. Supposedly would get better city mpg than highway but I don’t know whatever came of it.
