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.

    but some of them are not that different from a sports car or sedan when not hauling a load for mileage

    Sports cars sure, but sedans? Buuuuullshit.

    and shouldn’t be expected to be used 24/7.

    Why not?

    SUVs are probably worse overall than trucks when it comes to excess unused space and mediocre mileage, but nobody complains about those.

    Are you serious, people complain about oversized SUVs all the time. Please.

    You’ve now reached the tone of desperate justification that people with oversized vehicles always fall back to.
