It bothers me that you think trucks should be niche market. Ever had to move anything anywhere bigger than a bag of groceries?
If you can avoid using it as a commuter, by all means, but most people can't afford to have one and the utility it provides and afford a second commuter car, hence the truck as daily driver.
- mikeash 13y agoMost people need to move large things only rarely, such that it makes way more sense to buy a car optimized for daily tasks, and rent a truck the one time a year or so that you need one.
- cobrausn 13y agoRight, and nowhere did I say everyone should have a truck. But that number is higher than 'niche market'. Also, only one time a year? I guess I move a lot of things.
- mikeash 13y agoSeems to me that moving things more often than that is rare enough to be niche. But I could very well have a skewed view of the world. Last time I needed a truck was when I moved this winter. Before that... can't think of when it would have been, but it was years prior. I just don't buy furniture that often.
