The clearance is a very important consideration though. Where I am the bush is life so you NEED clearance just to drive on many 'roads' to get over huge ruts, small fallen trees, or just general bushwacking. Trucks like these are more akin to work trucks and not everyday unless driven by owner necessity (can't afford a 2nd car atm). Funny you should mention it, but my buddy is a mechanic and has a lifted S-10 that he's used more than once to get us out of a jam. That is often the case: the one with lowest clearance needs the most help.
and yet the overwhelming majority of them are pavement princesses who never see work, much less work in the dirt.
yeah, i've seen lifted s10s, they're still smaller than today's jacked up shithaulers lol
