    And no modern truck owners remember those little trucks. They think being a truck owner means you have to have the biggest most ridiculous truck out there. Personally, I’d love it there was a smaller ranger sized EV truck. I’d buy one of those tomorrow if they gave up on massive monsteosities

        Sorry, in America they tell you what you want, and they’re telling us you don’t actually want that. (And don’t you dare try to import one from Europe or somewhere else, they made that illegal)

          Someone in my city drives one of those tiny little Japanese pickups and I’d kill for one of those honestly.

            Look up the Kei trucks. There are a lot of them available if you’re willing to figure out transportation/pickup/delivery after import.

              I can’t afford a car right now but I’ll certainly consider it! They’re neat, plus I talk a lot of shit about car centric infrastructure so it’d let me maintain some “insufferable” cred when I finally get another vehicle 🤣

      Take something the size of an original Ford Ranger, throw in a two-cylinder diesel generator and a battery pack and make it a series plugin hybrid.

      That’s pretty homophobic

      It’s hard to let people know you’re looking if they can’t see/hear you
