    Which was a reply to someone saying they want something like the second one from the left, which is an engine forward truck with 60% bed, which has never existed.

    A Jeep FC-170 was 60% bed, but that’s like saying “Just get a Hino and have someone make a bed for it and daily drive it”.

    The only thing that’s higher than 60% and that could still be considered a non commercial offering is a VW Bus Transporter at 61% bed since the nose is flatter (engine at the back) but it still doesn’t match “the second from the left” as asked by that other person.

    I don’t know where they found the 64% bed truck and outside of commercial offerings (so it doesn’t have to meet regular safety standards) there’s no way to get a modern version of a truck with 60% bed unless it has a ridiculously long bed.

      I never contradicted any of this, I don’t know of a modern one. You said they never existed… They did.

        They didn’t, no engine forward truck ever had a 40/60 ratio cab to bed.
