    If you need to tow something, sure. The vast majority of people who own a pickup don’t tow jackshit. That goes for urban and rural areas.

      And this will not fit all requirements of all people all the time. Nor does it intend to. But my god, trucks are such a practical platform & they used to be a lot smaller. The Asians do the tiny utility trucks…so well. But noooooo, Americans simply can’t have anything small, or affordable, we won’t allow small trucks to enter market. 🙄

      It fits most cases, and a change 60-75% in the right direction is better than a 0% change in the right direction, cranking out oversized & overpriced trucks that don’t fit our lifestyles.

      There are lots of men not entering relationships, lots of couples not having children. This is perfect for daily living & daily tasks. Long-distance trips? Fuck no. But how often are you doing that? Price is right, if it’s cheap-running & simple & reliable – what are we waiting for?? Let’s go, the Toyota Stout isn’t coming to save us anytime soon. Let’s go with this tiny truck until then.
