Ive sat in a few trucks. The tundra is super comfortable, as is the harley davidson edition of ford. I drive a sedan but there's atleast 2-3 times I could use a truck in a year.
But really, who gives a shit? Posted via RS Mobile | |

I agree that there are A LOT of Trucks around.
My dad has one with an 8ft bed. I would say he actually uses the Bed about 3-5 times a month. Which is significant because when he uses it, it is packed.
Just because there is nothing in it majority of the time it doesn't mean it isn't useful.
Also, some people buy a F-150 because they like the look of a truck and like the idea of being able to haul around stuff. Also, believe it or not the New F-150's have better mileage then alot of SUV's.
ie. My moms 2003 X5 3.0 has a 93L tank. She only gets about 500KM's out of it (and my mom uses min. 92 octane)
My dads 2009 F-150 has a ~100L Tank. He gets about 700Km's out of it
so YMMV LITERALLY  | |

I just dont get it | Do you know how much big trucks cost? ie. F-150, Tacoma, etc?
They were $50k.
It's only now that they are cheap.
The same F-150 my dad was looking at 3 years ago was $50k. He stole one this year at $31k.
And I think the Tacoma is still at least 40k-50K and the Ridgeline too.

I use my truck to carry job boxes, steel studs, drywall and other building materials all the time. My truck also has more room inside the cab then my wifes Maxima does so whenever we go out we take the truck over the car when I'm not working.
The truck is totally comfortable to I don't know what the hell you're talking about. It also has the same or more options then 95% of the vehicles on the road guaranteed.
What do you drive we'll compare.

Seriously, how many times a year you actually tow your boat? and when you are not towing your boat, couldnt you be driving a smaller sedan instead? | | |

Why have a truck... people need to pull things, perhaps go dirtbiking or hunting on the weekends, or would like to have that bed in case they need to move things around.
So you expect people to use thier trucks only when they need the available space of a truck and keep it parked for the rest of the time.. are you retarded  | |
