Well if you compare used for used 40k is still way too much for any truck. People who need a work vehicle will buy a van. Massive pickup trucks are for man babies who would rather crush toddlers than have people question their sexuality.
You know, the “just buy a work van” is such a straw man argument. People can’t afford to own two vehicles, and they sure as shit don’t want to try driving around a work van with shitty suspension as a daily driver. Pull up to dinner in something that looks like it should say “Free Candy” on the side.
While I don’t disagree that many people drive trucks that have no reason to be driving them (looking at Dodge Ram owners with flags flying off the back of them) believe or not some people can only afford to own one vehicle and want something that works for them and is comfortable.
If I didn’t have the job I did, believe me, I wouldn’t be driving something that only gets 17 mpg. Got sent out of town and the rental place hooked me up with a Dodge Charger. Holy crap I forgot what it was like to not have to swing out to make a U-turn and not have trouble finding a parking space. Only problem is, you can’t throw a ladder and a pack out in the back of a car, and you can’t pull a 7500 lb scissor lift on a trailer when you need to.
Lol, no. Two seater, shitty suspension, loud af. I take company vans on occasion when needed and one is available, but yeah you try driving one daily. Ain’t great. Also really don’t like having to unload and move everything from one vehicle to another.
Your perspective makes it clear you’ve never had a job that required you to lug around a shit ton of tools and materials.
You’re putting everyone around you in danger with your massive truck. You may have excuses but that’s undeniable. I work in construction and when I need to haul materials I use a 2003 Dodge Grand caravan, it fits more than my bosses GMC while being more efficient, much safer for pediatricians, and being a tenth of the price. Your brain has been poisoned by American automakers propaganda. I hope you recover some day.
Edit: damn dude, you comment A LOT on posts about cars. This single comment thread is probably the most I’ve ever talked about them. You sure you don’t got car-brain?
But new they were like 80k and you then have to drive a massive hideous truck. Why would anyone do that?
Who buys new? I don’t want to eat the depreciation just to get new and shiny
…because you use one for work and gas is expensive when your driving all across the metroplex?

Just because you’d be embarrassed to drive one because of your ego doesn’t stop a van from being the best, safest option.

Lol you assume I drive an oversized truck. I like being able to fit in parking garages.
I guess you drive that Dodge Caravan in addition to your EV? must be nice to be able to afford so many vehicles. Shit even planning to get a “weekend” Miata. Wish I had that kind of money.

The caravan is owned by my company. But calling me a liar isn’t really an argument truck bro.
