What people online think I drive when I mention owning a pickup truck versus what I actually drive
-
trailer for hauling and then own whatever you want for driving. Modern american trucks are just crossovers with a tiny, useless flatbed bought to appear country.
I disagree. I have a modern American half ton diesel pickup. It’s not a crossover. I’m not in construction or maintenance, I work in tech.
I have four horses and a gooseneck trailer for the horses that the truck hauls once or twice a week.
I also have a flatbed for hauling hay or moving the tractor.For literally everything else i have a small car, because that truck is awful to drive in traffic or urban areas.

I haul shit home two or three times a week, nothing to do with work.
Hell, today picked up a nice mower (free) to fix to fix and use or sell. Also found a cool wooden chair my wife likes for her campsite.
Hauled cull wood from the store to my camp for building stuff last Saturday. Had it not been raining, I was going to take my kayak or canoe to the water today.
You don't know me or how I live. Could you be any more judgey?
Yes I could, because you use your truck, so I'm glad. You are one of the few. The vast majority of truck owners would do one of those things maybe once a month, and that's wasteful and posturing.

Put a Ford Focus behind it to show what people actually need.
Too bad the gov blocks smaller pickups from being imported. Practical sized vehicles.

Fuck people who buy those big beasts, then can’t handle them for shit, and try to park as close to the front door as possible, fucki ng up parking for every other vehicle. Never even trying to park straight…ungh.
For the 3 days out of the year they might actually need such a massive beast they can rent a truck. I remember when I was car shopping and told a "car guy" at work I was looking at a Subaru he got all worked up. He tried to talk me into buying a massive SUV or pickup because they were more macho or some shit.

(This is our asshole; I hope that counts)
I guess technically he's my asshole too.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh if we were allowed to have the Toyota Hilux here I'd buy one immediately. Fucking closest to a truck I "like" is a Ford Maverick because it's a "smaller truck"...
But they ONLY come in crew cab. For fucks sake I want a standard cab full size small pickup truck about the size of a HIlux or a ranger from the 90s. And frankly if they made one a hybrid I'd have a dream car, but hell I'd take a 4 cylinder. But nope. Around here they're the shortest fucking bed for the biggest fucking motor that's effectively an SUV that is somehow MORE useless because the wall between the bed and the cab means I can't lay seats down. A fucking mini-van is a better truck in the US.
I apologize... this is an angry angry rant I have to do like once every other week...
Its okay, its better to vent on internet than in real life.
Id like a subaru brat. But it's rare and i have no practical reason to own it.

You can arrange to import one. The US has a 25 year ban on cars that weren't available originally. When it gets to the US modify to your liking and cop friendly nods from car guys who'll appreciate the effort

A friend of mine used to have a Suburban because her husband was a boat salesman and needed something that could tow big boats. She called it the Urban Assault Vehicle.

If you're a guy they no doubt also make assumptions about your dick size, which they know are indisputably correct because memes.
