Fuck trucks. I remember the Ranger it was barely bigger than a minivan. These things are obscene. People who own them don't need them. Most people don't even need trucks. People like to cosplay that they live up a 25 degree incline of muddy, rocky road. But a subaru would be just fine and IS in most of the world.
Pretty arrogant to claim people that own them don't need them. I know welders that do on site welding and have heavy welding equipment mounted in the back.
You also wouldn't want to have a civic flying down a steep hill behind you towing a 6,000lb travel trailer.
Edit:
Today I learned a bunch of people like to drive slow behind a rolling death trap that is a civic with a 6K lb trailer. Cool.
So weird that contractors in every single other country on earth don't need them
How strange!
Except they do. Or they use vans which are similarly sized, maybe a bit more narrow. Or they just have older trucks.
They use vans mate. I've literally never seen a builder with a stupid tiny-penis truck. Maybe the boss if he's having a midlife crisis but never, ever a contractor
