And I hate their blue-rich eye searing headlights to.

      Some people do, but it’s a dead giveaway when a truck bed is so small it can’t hold a sheet of plywood, AND the truck is super clean AND it doesn’t have any dents and scratches.

      At that point it’s obviously not being used for what it was originally designed for.

      Because they take up too much room on the roads, make a shit ton of noise, are less safe for other users of the road, are less versatile than other vehicles. Those were the objective reasons.

      Now for the subjective reasons: they’re ugly as sin, expensive as fuck, the fuel cost is too high and they suck at driving in the snow.

        Not less versatile, that’s for sure. Way more versatile. I’m looking at the GMC Denali EV truck. They are pricey though

          They don’t really say on their website how much less range it has once you attach a trailer to it, beware.

          Also the vehicle being so high and wide means it’ll be hard to park. That alone should be a deal breaker for anyone living close to a city.

          The extended cab means less room in the bed. If the goal is to carry stuff, you are losing both room and range. Your stuff also is gonna get wet unless you buy something additional to cover them.

          EV large pickups seem to me like the worst of both world when I stop and think about it.
