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.

Tows 7500lbs less if anything and I can still seat my family and friends. You are more apt to compare this to a van if you want an actual comparison. But you don't.

L triple the bed size when actually comparing cubic feet.

L higher and deeper bed means over sized and long loads with a flag are legal.

L has a larger engine which means it can carry heavy loads much easier.

L Relatively silent in the cab.

L carries 3 more passengers.

L ability to hitch much larger trailers and campers.

Lovely in theory until:

Only 2 v 5 people meaning more round trips Significantly less load meaning more round trips Much nicer to drive Poor crash rating, less safe.

It’s almost as if the industry has been formed by the popular choice among the people. Isn’t that quaint.

American cars need to be bigger and strong BC they need to carry all the obese mongrel americans
