    So is using those other measurements as a reason to justify owning a truck for most people. The Apes (Italian) serve a purpose, not a daily driver. Living in Houston I observed American sized trucks carrying single occupants with the occasional truck towing something once a month. That’s it, none of these people needed a truck for a daily driver which is what that pic is all about.

        No, I expect people to rent a truck/trailer for the few times a year they need to actually haul things, and own a more sensible daily driver for the other 360 days a year.

        Obviously this doesn’t apply to people that own trucks and haul things on very regular basis, but those people are the vast, vast minority of people who own trucks.

        dude literally every truck owner that uses a truck for work that i’ve talked to has multiple trucks, one for work, and one for daily.

        Please stop talking.

        It’s called buy a fucking car and rent a truck for the one time a year you actually use it like a truck you brain-dead fuck.

          I use my truck every day for work, as well as drop my kids off at school.

          Working parents…. What a novel idea….

          I can’t afford to have two (four, wife as well……) vehicles, let alone the place to park them, as well as the time to go home and change vehicles, not to mention showering and clothes change so I don’t get the other vehicle dirty…. Before getting my kids after work.

          It’s almost like these trucks do exist for a specific use or something… it’s funny my braindead truck brain can think of this scenario, but your brain can’t…? How fucking retarded does that make you…? Fucking lol.
