My non EV is still perfectly serviceable and I don't like all the superfluous electronic touchscreen bullshit they're putting in modern vehicles so I'm going to keep driving it until the wheels fall off.

You realize not all apartments are located in big cities? Plenty of people live in small towns with no or shitty public transportation.

The Ranger never had an 8ft bed so I don’t know why an extended cab + 6 ft bed isn’t ok

I was just pointing out that they could do that and it would be better for me. If you need the stuff you're hauling to be protected from the elements you can use a bed cover or a tarp. Even with my civic I just put groceries or whatever small stuff in the passenger seat. I have little use for interior space. There have been many occasions using that Colorado where a longer bed would have been great.

As far as old trucks go you'd have to go back a lot further than five years to find something that meets the criteria I'm looking for and hope you find one that was actually cared for.

They just pass those problems on to their customers these days.

It could be 8ft if they ditched the extended cab and I do not want a full size truck. I'm short as fuck and they're a pain in the ass to get things in and out of and just more of a pain to get around in general. I want a truck like the 1998 Ford Ranger. Unless something like that becomes available I'll stick to my civic and borrowing my dad's shitty Colorado when I need a truck.

Are there any small trucks available that aren't crew cabs? I know the maverick didn't have an option for it last time I looked and that's everyone always suggests when I bring up that I hate all the available trucks these days. I don't need to cart around a family of four. I need to haul lumber, tools, and furniture. Give me a single cab with a full bed that isn't half the size of a school bus. Thanks to the fucking chicken tax and CAFE that's impossible now.

It's not a contest. Those minority of men are still people who need support.

It's the same shit as with smartphones. "If people wanted a headphone jack/removable battery/SD slot/whatever then why are they still buying smartphones?" BECAUSE THERE ARE NO OPTIONS THAT HAVE WHAT THEY WANT. I haven't bought a phone since 2017 and I won't until forced into it by circumstances. We literally can't vote with our wallets because what we want isn't on the ballot.

I don’t think the Star Trek replicator use raw materials to produce stuff. I’m pretty sure it’s just energy converted into matter.
