I am probably going to break down and get truck again. Most uses people give are bs. A tarp and car will let you haul 90% of what you want. Chicken, dog, cat, pig feed. Car is fine. All of those animals too (though 300 lb pot belly pushes the limits).
If you stick it out the back of the trunk you can haul long lumber. You can load a surprising amount of rocks and concrete too.
You are probably loading and unloading appliances that often. Or furniture.
If it wasn’t for the travel trailer I would suffer through it, but its the straw that broke the cammals back. Renting is just such a pain in the dick too. I would rather have a piece of junk desiel that I am tinkering with the schedule a day to pick up a truck to race around trying to use it before I run out time.
If I need to clear brush. I just want to go do it. If I need rocks I just to get a load. Friend or family moving I can just bring the truck.
Don’t get me wrong I hate a lot of the truck out there. I don’t need a new house worth of truck to move junk around.
I just want a god damn little single cab S10 style truck with a full size bed. I don’t need passenger space, I don’t need crazy ground clearance, I don’t need huge tires. I need room for furniture and lumber that my 5’3 ass can get in and out of without having to climb. Bonus points if it’s electric. And no a Maverick is not just as good.
My literal dream. I’ve actually been looking at Edison Motors retrofit kit for hybrid diesel electric to try and revive a junker rather then selling two kidneys for the down payment on a truck I couldn’t afford to get scratched.
Farmers owning a truck makes sense (although I hate how blocky and dangerous the hoods are), but what about all the tech bros and finance bros who drive giant pickups? I swear half of the men who work white collar jobs and live in the suburbs drive giant pickups and SUVs these days

Maybe the size of the country has an impact. Does the average person need to buy a lot of animal feed?
Its about a third of the people I know. Stuff like Chewy help but then we can’t buy it from the farmers co-op.

And they ruin the truck market because they are happy to shell out stupid money to park in the suburbs
