Sounds like you'd find cars more 'usable' and don't need/use trucks for the unique things they offer, which is towing and hauling things bigger than groceries.

  Please don’t tell me what I need. I’ve used trucks for those purposes plenty, and I still do. There exists a large, underserved market for pickup trucks which can haul furniture or summer yard project material or tow my sailboat, but also be a good daily driver. Furthermore - when is the last time you shoveled one ton of sand/gravel/stone out of a pickup bed? It was a hell of a lot easier with a lower bed that I could reach farther into with a standard transfer shovel.

    > There exists a large, underserved market for pickup trucks which can haul furniture or summer yard project material or tow my sailboat, but also be a good daily driver. The market has signaled that it will pay obscene prices for a good truck. Maybe the reason we don’t have powerful trucks that can also be “good” (whatever that means–fuel efficient? less dangerous to pedestrians?) daily drivers is because it’s infeasible? > Furthermore - when is the last time you shoveled one ton of sand/gravel/stone out of a pickup bed? It was a hell of a lot easier with a lower bed that I could reach farther into with a standard transfer shovel. Last time I shoveled a ton of dirt from a pickup bed, I climbed up into the bed and shoveled it out from there.
