      Like 90% of the point of hot wheels was looking cool, so I have to respectfully disagree

      That’s what the majority of (sedans masquerading as) trucks are used for anyway.

        Diesel euro wagon gang here.

        I’ve used them to move, to haul furniture or copious amounts of firewood… And 2 out of the 3 I’ve owned have had ridiculous mileages put on them by previous owners, while still maintaining reliability as far as the powertrain is concerned (admittedly, I’ve had to deal with minor electric issues and obviously I’ve replaced some control arms and tie rods).

        Thought trucks were cool when I was a kid, but now I just don’t see them being practical or economical enough considering the last year of my life has involved an average of 1000 km weekly.

      Similar to, but not quite the same as the kind of man-child that buys an F-150 on the off chance they need to haul a dresser once every 4 years. Seriously though, if each one of these buyers keeping US truck bloat in style bought a motorcycle instead to cement their self-worth, traffic would be eliminated in most US cities. That’s not possible due to many factors, I know, but it must be said motorcycles are just way cooler.

        Problem then is, You Still gotta buy a truck to buy and haul your 2nd motorcycle, your 3rd motorcycle, your dirt bike, and your track bike.

        Once in Bangkok I watched as three people loaded a dresser on a motorcycle, got him started, and then watched him drive off. It was balanced perpendicular.

        Remember thinking that I would pay money to see this in the US. So freaken cool.

        Most F150 owners also own a fart rocket
