oversized and the cabin seems bigger than the bed, when did the mexican get tired of being stacked onto the bed
-
Tools get wet or stolen in a pickup fuk that
-
Most the time people take the back seats out to store tools,personally much prefer a van but a tipper truck is more useful and actually makes/saves money vs a van. The crew cabs are an acceptable compromise to store smaller tools but it’s still a fucking pain having to take the bigger tools of the bed every night and put them on in the morning

Had a 2014 F-150, went to a 2016 Explorer, last month had to go back to the 2018 F-150. I’ll never go back to an SUV again. Wife has the Range Rover. I still prefer my truck.

Ranger rovers are junk, had two of them, overpriced junk

Ford Raptor would be my truck of choice. Ford Ranger is what I can afford.

Everywhere you look there are pickups with nothing in the back. I don't know why people keep buying them.

Most people today find it easier to tow a trailer than load shit in the back of a truck. Mine is more like my car than anything.

x2 I would say about 10-15% of the people I know who own pickups actually need a pickup.
-
The auto industry knows that advertising pickup trucks as the "must have" vehicle if you are a real man is a winner every time. Practicality never enters the mix.
Just because building a pickup is about the cheapest thing the auto industry can make and yet has the highest profit margins doesn't enter the equation, haha.

Why did you buy the second one? ;D

I put very little in the back but use it to tow. I probably use the bed 1 day a week but they don’t make 3/4 ton suburbans or excursions anymore.

You just feel like a man driving a truck. When I drive a car I just feel weaker so yeah it's a status symbol for me.

It makes perfect sense. The auto companies do a painstaking analysis of every aspect of the pickup. Decisions like cab length and bed length are important.

Any of you guys posers that truly have nothing to haul in the back but want to make a statement look away from my small penis. I have a big truck. Just kidding. I would love to have a pick up truck. Along with a lumber jack shirt and a beard.

The Rivian. The first all-electric truck. The specs are unbelievable 750 hp, 10,365 torque, 0-60 in 3 seconds, towing 11,000 lbs. With no engine it has lots of storage space. I am very interested in how this one pans out.

Toyota's are good trucks but Ford has mastered the pickup truck. There is a reason why they have been #1 since the 1970's.

The look the coolest with the streamlined (not boxed) look. They last a long time and I've never had any major problems with either of the two I owned. The resale value doesn't matter to me as I'm driving it until it dies. Ford seems to put their best engineers and quality into their trucks as their cars totally suck. I would never own a Ford car. Again, there is a reason why they have been #1 in sales for so long.

So “the best” is what looks subjectively prettier to you. Got it.

Yeah and the F150 has the most recalls of any pickup too.

People tend to stick with brands for better or worse.. I never understood that. If a truck gives problems why trade it in for the same brand. Most Ford owners I know follow that device. Chevy is really putting out some horrendous trucks.. RAM on the other had has come a long way. Just my opinion.

RAM would probably be my second choice. You could get that Tesla above. Ha, ha.

It's no great mystery. Guys in America who buy pickups are buy American guys. I'd guess that Toyota sells more than all US makers combined outside the US. I'll eat my hat if they don't outsell any individual US company.

Are you ready to eat your hat?
521,000 (2017) sales for the Hilux compared to 571,000 for the ram (2018). The F150 and Silverado both outsell the Ram.

Doh!
Outside the US? Excluding sales within the US? Really?
No one buys American pickup trucks. What's the source?

So what’s the over-under on these rigs?

Ford was going to go under when they made the ballsy move to switch to aluminum. Every manufacturer criticized them. Now they are all moving to aluminum.
Ford was going under when they made the ballsy move to come out with a smaller engines like the 2.7L. Now everyone is coming out with smaller engines.
Everyone is trying to compete with the Raptor which everyone knows is the most badass truck there is and the original.
My tundra was the best truck I've owned but common Toyota. 15 mpgs? I moved to Ford when I got more horsepower and 22mpg's
-
Just driving the Ford Raptor must make your test level spike! It is a badass truck.
-
Silverado is a good looking truck...but I love my 2001 F150. Put some money into it this year for the first time and we'll drive it for another 100k.

Trucks seem to last forever.

Unlike cars they are totally worth putting expensive repair costs into to keep them going.
I thought Ford was crazy for going to small V6 turbos and I was wrong. I don't own one - still have a V8 - but I know several people that love the 3.5L Ecoboost.

I still see a lot of trucks from the 90's on the road and even a handful of trucks from the 80's and even a 70's model here and there. I never see cars that old that are still holding up.

My buddy has a 1983 Ford 100 that was the daily driver of an old man for over 30 years until he quit driving and sold due to his age. How many cars had that long of a life?

If you put enough money into it, you can keep any truck or car on the road indefinitely.....

Ford has massive problems with their ecoboost engines for cars:
QcLKA
Also with the over 300 hp ecoboost for the Mustang
Hopefully the truck ecoboost engines are better?
-
Mustangs suck. As I said before Ford trucks are great but their cars are shit. Anyone remember the Ford Probe? If you ever owned one you wouldn't have any good memories of it I'm sure.

I've heard the Eco Boost engines in the F-150 stretch timing chains likes its nobody's business. Full size truck..... small v-6.... forced induction... hmmmmm.

The Ford 300 straight six. 500k if you keep the oil changed. 300k if you don't , haha.

Why did you buy the second one? ;D
First one was a lemon, Land Rover bought it back, and give me a second one heavily discounted, issues here and there, after that, never again

The Probe is going back a long ways. They've made some good cars since then.

Vaguely racy. Meant for people interested in probes, I guess.

What is the sense of having a pickup truck unless you have a construction business or haul heavy equipment.
They serve no other purpose if you're just using it to drive around for every day use.

Sure a lot of people drive to Starbucks, work then back home - they drive cars...but some of us do more like hauling or towing things. Stuffing 40 bags of mulch or a 12 foot board in a car is not a doable thing. As for this time of year a big 4wd truck is great in the snow as well.

I like my truck, because it makes me feel more rugged. Kind of like wearing a flannel in the city. Sadly, i've never had anything larger than groceries in the back of my truck. :-\

Poser or tiny dick syndrome AKA Coach Disease? ;D
But serious, yeah most people don't need a truck. Most people need a truck once or twice a year. If you only got one vehicle, it is better to rent one and put wear and tear on the rental.
That being said, as a Texan, a lot of people have trucks, not everyone drives them daily.

I'd be lost, being a homeowner, without a truck. There's always something! I love them. But I do have a classic old Cutlass for a fun car, too.

I have 2 of em'. Big diesel for pulling trailers and taking trips, get 20 mpg and the Cumins will last a million miles and small Toyota can go 4 wheelin' in the mountains and desert, haul dogs in back, haul hay, haul refrigerator, move friends, haul lumber, haul yard trash. I just cut down a tree and hauled the whole thing to the dump.Great in deep snow,I've even slept in the back of it.

trucks age better in terms of looks.
trucks do not look "dated"
1997-2004 Ford F-150 looks pretty sh*t now
1993-2001 Dodge Ram looks dated.
Silverados in general have maintained strong DNA since mid 90s which help with looking less dated.
Original Tundra 00-06 looks severely outdated.
Saw the new 19 Ford Ranger XLT Crew FX4 this week which was a let down in person. The Tacoma won’t lose any sleep.
Out of current batch of new half tons the Ram and GMC have the best look IMO.
All of them are overpriced and represent the biggest margins for all manufacturers.
