Comment on FOUR whole parking spots
CanofBeanz@lemmy.world 11 months agoFor a huge amount of people they make perfect sense, if you can only have one vehicle and don’t live somewhere where parking is an issue. It really is a all in one vehicle, Haul, tow, people mover (crew cabs) and 4wd for rough weather.
Comparing a sports car to a full size truck is idiotic, its like comparing a road bike to a mountain bike they are just different vehicles.

A van or minivan can do everything a pickup can while being safer, more fuel efficient, and smaller in profile. A van can carry more than a pickup truck can, both in passenger and cargo capacity, especially with the shrinking bed sizes of modern trucks. There is a reason farmers tend to hold on to older trucks. There are very few good reasons to go for a pickup truck over a van for the average person.

What??? I would never load the back of my van with gravel, mulch, top soil. The tractor couldn’t dump it in, and shoveling it out and cleaning it after are no where near the same.

That’s where a pickup truck would indeed come in handy. But you can also just rent one for that purpose instead, or use a trailer.

You could rent someone to lay out anti-truck screeds on the internet and save your own time for sleeping or polishing your golf clubs
