Why didn't you buy one with a lower height but the same load capacity? Safer and makes loading stuff easier.

Us Australians look at weird American raised utes and scratch our heads in puzzlement. You've got a higher driver position, granted, but it's also a higher centre of gravity, it's harder to park in garages and underground car parks, it's harder to see pedestrians, it's harder to load stuff into the tray, etc.

You clearly aren't just driving it to look pretty, like many people that we both probably get annoyed by. What's the story?

Good luck finding one in the US. I miss my old 95 Ranger.

The fact that they never brought the Holden Ute over to the US as a new El Camino is frustrating.

[–] STUNT_GRANNY@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

We came close, it was gonna be brought over as a Pontiac like with the Commodore/G8, but then that brand went away.

And we wonder why GM needs bailed out all the time.

I think it's pricing

I got a friend who bought a RAM last year. he was previously hauling construction equipment in his partner's crossover and his own sedan. a pickup was an appropriate buy

HOWEVER he got a RAM (thankfully no LED headlights, though they are mounted way too high still), and tbh I'm not really sure what his alternatives were. "small" pickups like the Maverick are too small, and expensive

also he's like 6'4" 250+lb so he physically needs a bigger cabin lol

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

They also have more size configuration options, per model. RAM is one of the only brands that offer single cabs and 8 foot beds, for example.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

Honestly, it just seemed like the best option. Admittedly, it's also fun to drive, but yes parking can be a pain. But where I live accommodates it pretty well.
