Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

Yet it's a free country . They can drive what they want.

Not really, many if not most places the little one can't be registered and street licensed. Many vehicles I would like to drive can not be imported because we have allowed unelected bureaucratics to decide what can be imported and or built here.

So in one picture you’ve decided the guy with the black pickup is a cowboy wanna be that keep up with his payments. I see an electrician who just wants to keep his tools dry. Not really but you get my point.

Yeah but - a Suburban, if he needs to carry family in his work truck, or a tradesman van if not, would be a better match to an electrician's needs. I gave a lot of thought to this when I went from a pickup to a Wagoneer back when I was a carpenter. The pickup had too much risk of tools getting stolen in an urban environment like that picture.

Agree that the little Kai trucks are too small to be legal or practical. But I think the point of that photo was that the tiny bed on the American truck is more for show than for real truck use.

in Europe those little trucks are used everywhere for delivery, mostly crates.
You see them all morning long. They don't go on the highway.
Workhorses.

And what the poster of that truck meme and a bunch of folks here are doing is judging others and applying your own views and biases to the other people's choices. People made the choices they made. It's their choice to make. You don't know what went into the choice or what their priorities are. They may well be different from yours. Leave them alone and let them make the choices they want to make and you make the choices that work for you.

My response to it was about the irrationality of the vehicle comparison, which is based on facts, not judgements. I don't fault the guy or lady who bought the little truck. Just the tool disregarding the larger one based on a single attribute.

I see a lot of really pretty F250's, with flawless paint and stupid low-profile tires set wider than the truck body. Lots of them are diesel, some with smoke stacks in the bed, and none will be used for hauling more than a new clothes dryer or a few bags of potting soil... before wiping the bed down clean. Stupid.

"Metrosexuals", I call them.

Target consumer for the Tesla Cybertruck.

Hey, I pressure washed the bed in my truck this spring at the car wash

My bed gets hosed or blown out if what I was hauling is corrosive, like fertilizer, if one of the bags has a tear and spills. Likewise, if it's so dirty that it's going to be a problem for the next thing I'm likely to haul. Other than that... it's a pickup truck bed, it's not meant to be clean or pretty.

As far as not judging others for their choices, I think that's at the core of what so many of you complain about everyday, i.e. the Woke movement. Some might say there's not enough judgement of our neighbors. Peer pressure has a way of keeping society in line, you don't do stupid crap when you're worried about what your neighbors or peers will do or say about it. Everyone from the Puritans to gossiping 1950's housewives knew that.

Pot stirred.

When a portion of the woke keep terrorizing and stepping on others rights, it's not easily corrected.
Look at the KK K and others who marched down main streets for decades.

We seem to have a lot of "movements" now that want to use fear and riot to push their point on others.

Not an easy fix when the "Press" and gov try to insight them.

Going to HD tomorrow, maybe will see something interesting for this thread

I actually looked at one of those little trucks a couple of years ago, but with a 700lb gvwr it would have been pretty useless. My little dump trailer will hold 3 times that...
