I see the anti-truck crowd is alive and well over here.
Never had anything blow off, if it’s that lightweight I have ratchet straps. If there is rain I would use a tarp if I didn’t want it getting wet. Never had anything stolen either.
Trucks are way easier to load and unload, and I can fit taller objects easily. Longer objects as well. I really don’t have much interest in hauling horse manure in a van or SUV. Same goes for firewood and bee colonies. I also have a trailer which is awesome and sees a ton of use.
Obviously plenty of people don’t use a truck for these things, but I really don’t care what others do with them. In fact it’s awesome having a used truck market clean trucks that have never been put into 4x4.
Older trucks, sure. I could lift stuff over the sides of my buddies S10 and place them on the bed while standing on the ground. I can’t do that with a modern Colorado, let alone a 1500 :(
I am not in the market for a stuff hauler, but a euro van seems like it would be a ton more practical.
“Icky” loads like poop or towing? I totally get a truck here but I still contend modern beds are too high.
Are pickups mandatory in US now? Or can you still drive a normal car?
No, you have to drive a truck so stuff you carry blows off onto the highway, gets wet, or gets stolen. Construction worker cosplay is big right now.
Pickup truck sales graphs and US obesity graphs since the 80s…
