Comparison left vs right for a craftsman who doesnt know which one he should buy:

  • l/r same bed size

  • r lower bed for way easier loading/unloading

  • r less likely to crash

  • r less fuel consumption and costs

  • r less expensive to repair

  • r easy to park

  • r easy to get around in narrow places like crowded construction sites or towns

  • r not participating in road arms race

  • l You get taken serious by your fellow carbrained americans because ““trucks”” are normalized and small handy cars are ridiculed.

So unless you are a fragile piece of human, choose the right one.

    So basically, “fuck other people! I care about my own safety and that’s it!”
    Lovely sentiment, no wonder the US is doing so great.

      Nah, it was a simple question about the overall efficacy of surviving a crash.

      And if you had participated in other parts of the conversation, you’d see that there is actually movement on that front. TL;DR, since you seem in a hurry, both trucks are equally safe at a speed that most collisions happen ( under 40mph ).

      But if you want to make that about “AMERICANS ARE EVIL”, I can’t really stop you. <3

        I’m not gonna say Americans are evil, but an astounding percentage lacks critical thinking skills of the most basic variety.

        Which, unfortunately, isn’t only an American problem.

      Wait… Do you not care about your own safety? When all other factors are equal, you’d prefer to just be dead?
