The design of these trucks is ridiculous. We have a farm, and actually use a truck, and the best truck we have ever had was an F150 full bed, regular cab, standard, work truck built in 1985. Likely looks like a toy next to these stupid things, but could outwork any of them all day long and could be repaired in the field if need be. I drive a 2008 Corolla for daily stuff, and it's impossible to see around these behemoth trucks in parking lots or on the road.
@Lomaxcat @DrTCombs The beds of modern pickups have actually shrunk quite a lot (and as someone else mentioned, since they are so tall it is harder to actually get stuff onto the bed). So they're a lot less useful for what you'd actually want a pickup truck for.
Pretty good article on the subject here:
