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?

Last time I shoveled a ton of dirt from a pickup bed, I climbed up into the bed and shoveled it out from there.
