MODERATORS
When you can't even make reasonable arguments and have to blatantly lie or twist reality to fit your narrative, it's called propaganda.
The amount of completely bullshit or cherry picking of specs or facts in this post is ridiculous. This community has turned into PETA-levels of obnoxiousness where even people who might otherwise agree with some of your ideas are just turned off by the stupid tactics. Like yeah, we get it, everyone would like more green and more walkable communities, but holy fuck the amount of bullshit some of you folks will go to to fit that narrative is nauseating.
What's bullshit is calling something bullshit for reasons you ether don't know or aren't willing to share with others!
If you are comparing the two trucks as work trucks, then the tiny one just cannot compete. It has a much lower bed weight capacity, has almost no towing capacity, and cannot fit more than two people.
As an actual work truck, it kind of sucks. It might be able to putter around on a job site, but that's about it.
The big truck can haul pallets of water in the back, can tow trailers full of plywood and sheet rock, and can actually fit most of a small work crew.
If you compare them as work trucks, the small one loses every time. And OP looks stupid for even making the comparison.
The vast majority of those big trucks sold are not work trucks. That's what the criticisms should focus on.
Your argument: "It's bullshit! You're annoying too!"
