“People expect trucks to be able to haul, tow and have a certain amount of bed space.” Oh how I wish that were true. Most pickups are just vanity items now.

“People expect trucks to be able to haul, tow and have a certain amount of bed space.”
Oh how I wish that were true. Most pickups are just vanity items now. Americans who drive pickups don’t care about the environment, they want something big and flashy with more power.
- fiftyfifty 3y agoMost other attempts at redesigning the truck bed have failed. The Chevy Avalanche and Cadillac Escalade EXT never sold well and were eventually cancelled. The Honda Ridgeline sold poorly and eventually was redesigned with a regular truck bed with straight walls. The problem with trucks with high bed walls is you can't throw gear, tools or materials over the side of the bed. You can't climb over the side of the bed to tie things down, and you can't (easily) put a custom cap or camper on it either. It's hard to see the Cybertruck selling real well once the initial rush wears off.
