    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.

      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.

      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?

          I wish my company would buy some more vehicles, but they won’t. Truck’s having issues so I borrowed a shop truck, and only had it a couple days before they were like “when you brining it back? We need it.” Like dude I need it.

          Believe me, I’ve been looking to downsize, but man I emptied my truck out and couldn’t believe the amount of crap I haul around. Ladder, couple pack out boxes with tools, safety equipment, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, a medicine cabinet worth of drugs, hand warmers, electrolytes, cooler of waters, tech bag, tool bag, blanket, travel pillow, tow hitch, tie downs , hi-vis tie downs, tow strap, netting, measure wheel, push rods, foldable camp table with collapsible chair (fits a laptop, it’s very compact)… Personally I prefer to be over prepared rather than underprepared cause as usual you take something out to make room and that’s the day you need it.

          Trying to downsize from a full size truck to a mid size for better gas mileage. I can definitely carry less, but it’ll be tight. Just wish they made more EV trucks. Rivian is great, but I sure as hell can’t afford that.
