Comparison left vs right for a craftsman who doesnt know which one he should buy:

  • l/r same bed size

  • r lower bed for way easier loading/unloading

  • r less likely to crash

  • r less fuel consumption and costs

  • r less expensive to repair

  • r easy to park

  • r easy to get around in narrow places like crowded construction sites or towns

  • r not participating in road arms race

  • l You get taken serious by your fellow carbrained americans because ““trucks”” are normalized and small handy cars are ridiculed.

So unless you are a fragile piece of human, choose the right one.

    Lived in Utah with many a mountain road. People go well over 70 on an incline daily.

      Are you talking cars or trucks? It’s easy to get up to 70, it’s hard to maintain if you’re not constantly keeping your pedal on the floor. I currently live on a mountain, so I’m speaking from experience. I drive a 350 though and I’m sure it’s easier in a car.

      Oh, also remember the truck is governed at 70. Meaning it will take having the pedal to the floor to maintain that 70mph on an incline. It’s much easier to maintain a speed and even go over when your vehicle doesn’t have a governer on it. Mine is governed at 96.
