    Maybe they haul a bedful of bricks daily but never need to tow anything?

      Who the hell wants to load bricks into a lifted truck? Even if using a forklift, its often better and safer to keep the load as low as possible. It also safer while traveling to have the load lower to keep the center of gravity lower, hauling bricks in a lifted truck is more dangerous than stock height. Lifts can also impact stopping distance, which isn’t something you want when you’re also ruining your sightlines with the lift.

        This man bricks!

        I dunno, I was just thinking extra springs to not bottom out with heavy load, also easier to pick up heavy items if they are already hip-high.

        (Like, I lift my husband from bed to chair, and vice versa, but I would really struggle to lift him from the floor.)

        Stoopid me.

        But not stoopid enough to buy a truck like that! A wheelchair-modified minivan hauls anything I need, and keeps it dry.

      I can almost guarantee the bed of that particular truck has never seen a brick, or any other building material.
