Surely you can imagine a truck that may or may not currently be on the market. This theoretical truck is minimally large enough to be reasonably safe, and also has a bed is as big as the trucks pictured. Like, a truck that does not have four doors and two rows of seating.
Provide one.
Provide us with a photo of your truck at capacity.
Is over capacity acceptable? The gravel was 1800#
I can't believe I missed this photo of your "over capacity" truck carrying less than the rated capacity of the cars you insisted were too small and a photo of what looks like loose pine needles.
What’s the capacity of the car? My truck is 1800lbs, the car can TOW (very important distinction that trolls want to “forget” about) 1000kg, which is 400lbs more than mine can haul, but, 9,000 less than it can tow….
What’s the cars capacity, it’s towing is 1000kg.
My trucks capacity is 850kg and 10,000kg towing. Thats an extra zero by the way in case you miss it.
Yep, lower capacity than cars half its size but a higher towing capacity that you're not actually using.
What’s the cars CAPACITY? Why are you skirting around instead of answering the simple question, I bet the cars CAPACITY is less than my truck, that’s why you won’t answer, so what is it?
Your comment is obvious lie, it doesn’t have more capacity, answer the question and you’ll realize this, instead of lying? Why? After trying to call me out, you’re gonna do this? Seriously lmfao?
1000kg, depending on fitout. Going to block you now because you're clearly never going to shut the fuck up, no matter how links people give you or how many times you're embarrassingly wrong.
What? I just said it may or may not exist. And half the point of the image we are commenting on is that car makers are making excessively large trucks so it’s very possible that such a car isn’t currently being made. I’m just asking you to use 1% of your imagination to imagine a truck that has a full size bed that is neither the Kei nor a monument to man’s hubris. Like a 90s-sized truck.
Maybe it doesn't exist because there's no market for it? 🤔
Yes, that’s a good assumption. Another possibility is that regulatory language incentivizes car makers to have larger vehicles.
It doesn’t really matter whether there’s a market or not, because the main reasons to bemoan these monstrous trucks are that they are bad for the environment, a nuisance on roads and parking lots, and more dangerous for other cars and pedestrians.
I think if the regulatory language is updated to disincentivize the monster trucks, then we’d see a market for the more 90s style trucks.
For some people, the lack of second row would cause them to not get a truck with a full size bed at all, which I don’t see as a problem.
But accidents in Canada are going down even though we buy just as many trucks so maybe the trucks aren't the issue.
From an environmental perspective, mid size and full size get the same fuel economy.
90s trucks were pretty much exactly the same size, just not as tall.
Crew cab long bed are available on ¾ ton (250/2500) format and up so that's not what people are buying if they don't do truck stuff anyway.
So if the thing doesn’t exist, why are so adamant that it’s possible…? Do you think maybe it doesn’t exist, since it’s impossible…? No… that can’t be the reason….
