Modern American pickup trucks are a sad, obese ghost of the utilitarian vehicle they once were. Gone are the beds you could haul a couple sheets of plywood in. You can’t even get an adult sized 4 wheeler in one. They don’t fit in a parking spot. Every new pickup puts its headlights straight in the back window of every regular passenger car. Their bumper is face hight to any child under 14. New trucks are a fucking blight. Fuel economy is non-existent. Diesel versions are even worse. Puking smoke and unburnt fuel in everyone’s faces because the garbage that buys them immediately disable any emissions control measures. 90 percent of people don’t need a pickup. They aren’t pulling trailers or carrying anything bigger than a bag of dog food. The only thing they are hauling is their fragile fucking ego.
I remember saying that exact same thing about SUVs in the 80s. Nothing changes. Not with the American car industry anyway. Printing money hand-over-fist for most of the 20th century to be so miserably managed as to go bankrupt and “have to” be bailed out by taxpayers. Largely responsible for destruction of the planet, the poor public transport options, preventing EVs for decades, and offering nothing new but bigger more expensive pollution.
Again, you people have such a weird definition of perfection. “It aligns with my niche tastes. Perfection.”
This thing is worthless to a huge part of the population.

Gee it’s almost like taste is subjective
Which is why calling it transportation perfection is dumb. It’s a niche use case.
It’s perfect to me
Stop enjoying things!
Well shockingly you don’t represent the majority 🤷♂️
Same can be said of so many things! Why take a dump on a cheap truck? There’s bigger fish to fry if that’s really your concern
I just think transportation perfection is absurd click bait 🤷♂️.
It’s a kei truck for outside Japan. Nothing new or revolutionary.
What a shitstain
Lololol 👌👍
