A small truck is what everyone wants. The old shit box pickups that could haul a sheet of plywood were amazing. Bring those back, make them cheep, dont pile on nonsense features. I'll buy one.

I'll buy one." I agree. I am so tired of watching car commercials. I spend a lot of time watching NBA with my elderly mother. Cars and trucks splashing through the mud in the middle of no where, driving to fast on empty streets, and other dumb stuff (often with disclaimers about professional driver and closed courses). <hyperbole>Cars are just money sinks</hyperbole>. I would like something reasonably priced, reasonably maintainable, and can get me and whatever I am carrying down the road. It would also be nice that I do not need to log into some server to drive (or fuel up) or to unlock some feature.
- marssaxman 2y agoMy family has a classic Toyota T100 pickup. Aside from a few bits of old plastic that have broken down, it's great: reliable, comfortable, small enough to drive and park in the city (most of the time), big enough to carry useful loads, strong enough to pull a trailer, zero digital bullshit. I think an electric version of this vehicle would be a real winner.
- voisin 2y agoThere is zero fucking chance Ford starts selling a $25k electric truck. I’d bet my last dollar.
