What is your most "Fuck you, this is actually awesome?" take?
-
Owning a pickup truck is pretty awesome, and I don’t think I’ll ever buy a different type of vehicle again.
Mentioning it online gets hate, but in real life people keep coming up to me, complimenting how nice it looks, asking questions about it, and kids give me thumbs up when I drive by. All of that is just a bonus on top of the fact that I love driving it and the way it looks - and that’s all that really matters.
How often do you haul stuff you need a truck for?

Modern magic. We tricked crystals into thinking by drugging them and zapping them with electricity. Then we used those crystals to trick matricies into hallucinating by forcing them to guess the answer to math questions and smacking them when they get it wrong and kept doing that until they get it right. Ethics and hype aside, it's pretty fucking wild.

I also like Never Gonna Give You Up, even though that's generally not my style of music at all.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Hard no on the food, but I'm with you on Never Gonna Give You Up. I sometimes klick obvious rickrolling links just to listen to it.
I also unironically like Wonderwall.

I like listening to some of the shittiest songs ever made mixed in with some of the best songs ever made, on shuffle. About 6400 songs now, extremely different genres. Digbar was my 3rd biggest artist last year lol

The food looks a little odd, but reasonable. The chocolate is... Someone replied saying chocolate tastes good with savory food, which is true, but IDK about that combo!!

Trucks are fun, 100%. Id love a small truck with a tow package, i don't need a gigantic Ram child-flattener but having something versatile and tall enough to clear some obstacles is always nice. RIP that little Mazda i got circa 2007 for $500 with no working gauges and a fuel leak, when it felt like driving i loved it.
Honestly if those Slate (is that right? Im still half asleep) trucks take off I may get one
I love my 99 ram and I can't imagine having a bigger truck for every day use.

Pickup trucks in and of themselves as a concept is fine.
The issue I an many others have with them is that they have grown to large, even here in Sweden we have got infected by American pickup trucks that has their bonnet at the same height as my 2021 Seat Leon's roof.
That is insane.
Get back to the size of 80-90s pickups, and I doubt you'll get a many complaints

I agree. I don't need the truck part very often, but when I do, it is so nice. I got a BEV truck and it's also stupid fast, especially for a truck. And it has outlets everywhere, 4x 110V 20A in the back plus a 220v 30A, and more 110V in the cab and the frunk! 130kWh of mobile power.
The suspension is sloppy, the tires are squishy. But I don't mind that most of the time (I do wish the dampers were a just bit more aggressive).

Asking the real questions.

I love my Santa Cruz. I can get 40mpg highway if I drive it right.

Crucially, that wouldn't be better carried in a van.

I actually want to get a pick-up truck for furniture, not like one of these road monsters, but something reasonable, like a 2 seater with lots a bed space. Like an old Chevy or something.
Why not a van? Can typically carry more and keeps it dry.

I use it for work so pretty much every single day but that's besides the point. It would be awesome even if I had no need for one.

Why does that matter though? A van is just as big and heavy with even worse visibility around you.

Exactly.
The crew cab with a laughable bedsize, hood as tall as the average person, and clearly unused off road tires is what is unreasonable.
A truck actually being used for work is totally fine.

I think those huge American trucks are cool too, but the size is more of an inconvenience than it’s worth, and they stand out and draw too much attention - which is a big reason I didn’t get one. I’m honestly surprised by how much attention even my ’07 mid-size Nissan gets, but luckily it’s all been positive.

The number one reason I went with a pickup over a van is that it just looks way better. Vans are boring. But also that my pickup has a 4WD, low-range gear box and a diff lock which vans don't. It also has a camper shell on it so stuff on the bed stays dry too.
