FWIW, I doubt my neighbors see all the stuff I haul in the bed, or the trailers I pull, when my truck is not parked in my driveway.
I still think people who delete their diesels or lift their trucks, etc are compensating though. I just won't judge a person who has a standard pickup truck.
- BluePen7 3y agoI owned an F150 because there's a weird premium on anything smaller, it was cheaper than a Ranger or Tacoma. Eventually just switched to an economy car with a trailer hitch, and it was somehow mind blowing to everyone that a Toyota Camry could haul 2000 lbs. I was hauling a motocross dirtbike, 200lbs (trailer was maybe another 400), if it was a 200lb person any small car could seat 4 of them. When I switched to a sports sedan and wanted a hitch all the forums were like "Just get a cheap truck", for some odd reason they only sold the hitch in Europe. Seems like the solution to anything slightly heavy or large is "Buy a truck that can haul 2000lbs". Meanwhile my old Scottish dad would remark to me "We used to haul caravans with cars smaller than this!"
- rationalist 3y agoYes, a car with a hitch and trailer would be more economical to purchase and drive. Unfortunately it's not as convenient for the average person.
- rightbyte 3y agoA station wagon is about as convinient as a pickup as long as you don't need to transport gravel.
