Towing capacity, payload weight, carrying 3 more people, bed width, drivetrain?
I think many trucks are way too big, and it’s silly to own a big work truck if you just use it to go to the grocery store but it’s really about so much more than bed size.
Yeah sure but I guess my point was that it’s a false equivalency. The truck on the right is massively more capable than the one on the left. I certainly don’t need one that big and most people don’t.
In addition to the payload. Payload goes in the back! Fill it with stones then put five men in it to shovel the stones. You’d need two vans for the same purpose. And if it’s roughly the same size, what’s the problem? Vans like that can be nice too, we see lots of Ford transits here in the states for tradesmen. Similar use case to what you’re describing.
But a van and a truck are used for different things. Your not going to see a van around the farm for example because it just isn’t that useful for farm work. Just like your not going to see a truck out delivering packages because it just isn’t the useful for that use case. Many of these vehicles have the exact same frame and engion just with a different body on top for whatever best fits the use case.

Let’s be honest, most people with trucks that large rarely have passengers, rarely even approach the payload for the bed, and they never tow anything.

Yeah it’s about
BIG TRUCK MAKE ME FEEL LIKE MAN. MAKE ME FEEL LIKE BIG BOY. LOOK ME DRIVE BIG VEHICLE SO YOU KNOW I’M IMPORTANT.
LOOK AT ME!!!
Legit I know guys that don’t even need one for work or anything, just get one for ego
Maybe sometimes, but it’s also just a massively more capable vehicle. Sometimes the simplest answer is the truth.
It’s really not.
It’s about getting past emission standards and pandering to people who don’t understand enough is enough.
They’re also hazards as the increased hood length and height create massive blind spots that have caused a rise in collisions and deaths.
I think both are true. The truck on the right is super capable, and also dangerous, inefficient, unnecessary for most people.
Something tells me you have an oversized truck in your driveway…
I drive a VW golf and I love it.
As a payload.
I’m not sure if you can fill it to load capacity even with lead bricks.
Or if you want to carry people, you can use this:
. For carrying not people you can remove seats. It’s even roughly same size.
Oh, marshrutka
So many good memories, got replaced with better buses in my city
Bless your city. I know one city in Belgorod Oblast that still 100% microbuses.

You came to a community called “Fuck Cars” and your take away is they are too negative about, cars? Did you think this was “Fuck Cars Sensually”?
…yes?
We really need a “Fuck cars sensually” made
To the tune of “Fuck Her Gently?”
You don’t always have to fuck cars hard
In fact sometimes that’s not right to do
More as a community on Lemmy, But I would not say no to a tribute song.
