I had a supervisor that blew his entire OT and 401k on $90000 truck and proceeded to complain about how shit the gas mileage was.
Oh, they would never put anything in it. That might scratch the bed.
They brag about being able to carry stuff then get one of those stupid long cab short beds that are good at nothing
Hey, they aren't good at nothing. They excel at killing pedestrians.
The Tesla Cybertruck will certainly be the ultimate truck for killing kids.
Yes but at least the blood will be easier to wipe off of the stainless steel.
My Subaru Forester with a roof rack hauls almost anything short of large furniture or a yard of gravel.
It costs like $30 to rent a box truck from home depot to take a big load home. I can get a few sheets of plywood on my Outback with a couple ratchet straps and not going over 40 lol.
Hell a roof rack on my 20 year old 3 series and a ton of rope has moved sofas, plywood and pallets, and one memorable trip 5 bikes
The people I know with expensive trucks still get everything delivered anyway. There's always some excuse why their super versatile amazingly useful truck isn't quite the right tool for the job, but somehow it's always the right tool to drive around town to their office job or the grocery store. Literally makes zero sense, ever.
Hitch and a trailer is how I deal with that with my Crosstrek.
I've been seriously considering getting a hitch and a light trailer. It would be more than sufficient for nearly everything we do, especially if it could haul a motorcycle when needed.
Does the remaining 1% get resold by shady people in back alleys? "Hey you, you want a deal on 1% of some produce from a farmer's market? Fell off the back of a Prius."
