Comparison left vs right for a craftsman who doesnt know which one he should buy:

  • l/r same bed size

  • r lower bed for way easier loading/unloading

  • r less likely to crash

  • r less fuel consumption and costs

  • r less expensive to repair

  • r easy to park

  • r easy to get around in narrow places like crowded construction sites or towns

  • r not participating in road arms race

  • l You get taken serious by your fellow carbrained americans because ““trucks”” are normalized and small handy cars are ridiculed.

So unless you are a fragile piece of human, choose the right one.

      yeah, but you also have to factor in the other costs of ownership - insurance, registration, maintenance, parking, etc if you would need a second family vehicle in addition to the little pickup, as opposed to one big pickup for the job and family. There is a valid use case for both. Most of the folks you see in the one on the left aren’t using it for a valid use case, but there are some that do. I’m not one of em, I drive a sedan, just sayin I get it.
