l You get taken serious by your fellow carbrained americans because ““trucks”” are normalized and small handy cars are ridiculed.
So unless you are a fragile piece of human, choose the right one.
I could make a lot of those arguments about the other truck too. Most people don’t need a truck for most of their transportation. People in this thread are a ting like there isn’t a single good reason to use American trucks. I can agree that they’re usually excessive, but you cannot pretend that the other truck is better in every way.
Yeah it’s just better the overwhelming majority of the time and for some reason is nonexistent despite this advantage.
Yeah, I feel like US trucks really should be company vehicles for the most part. That’d be a decent niche imo. And if it’s company money, they’d probably go with the cheaper option anyway
