In surveys, only a third of pickup drivers haul more than once a year.

Most pickup owners would be better off renting or borrowing a pickup when they actually need one. There’s definitely some people that need them, but even some who actually use full sized pickups would be better off with a smaller version like an ute, kei truck or smaller pickup.

Given that that picture is from somewhere in Europe, I’d guess that a full sized American pickup isn’t a terribly practical vehicle for them. And is quite bad for the safety of people around them - pedestrians are far more likely to die after being hit by a pickup, and small cars will be worse off in an accident than against something their own size.

The problem is the number of people who “need” a truck, but then refuse to use it to haul anything because it will decrease the value. what most people don’t understand is that all vehicles depreciate in value, there is no increase until they become a classic, and that still doesn’t increase it to the price you paid for it until it becomes an antique. The average new car/truck loses 12% of it’s value the moment it drives off the lot…

The things you learn as a car salesperson. If you get a loan (should be a mortgage on new trucks) you are immediately upsidedown on it as soon as you sign the loan paperwork.

Which one would most likely kill you if the driver ran a red light and hit you in the crosswalk??? Which one? Also they’re not in use and taking up valuable real estate in a crowded urban area. Both vehicles are not contributing much value are they? Car-brained jackass
