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.
How often are people really towing that much though? Maybe a couple times a year at most? It would be cheaper to just rent a big truck for the few times you need it per year than have that absurd truck as a daily driver.
Well like I said craftsman and home builders do all the time. I’m a weekend home improvement warrior and I need to haul or tow a few thousand pounds of stuff at least once or twice a month, sometimes more. We have an suv with a tow hitch for that but the idea is similar.
