Most trucks, unless specifically single cab or long beds have not been able to carry a 4’x8’ sheet of plywood in a decade or longer. A single cab or long bed pick em up truck is as rare as hens teeth. Otherwise they’re just pavement princesses who dont haul anything heavier than a gallon of milk or their own sedentary ass. Its all about percieved machismo. And that shit sells trucks to fragile men 8 days a week.
similar bed size as this cute little guy
They actually can’t give birth naturally anymore, every F-150 born today is the result of misuse of jaws of life
I hate this so much. My job recently retired two 2012 chevy colorado’s. They had four doors, small frame, but plenty of bed space. The best we could do for a replacement is a ford maverick. the maverick has more room in the cab and lots of useful new features but the bed is absolutely pitiful. Just to fit all the things we need for work we have to use this little gate that folds out and adds the tailgate to the bed space. It works sure but it feels pretty unsafe, the backup camera becomes useless and there’s just a could fence posts and a coupe bars between anything slipping out of the bed on the highway.
I’d love to see the overall height and length of the car over the same years.
Thanks a lot for the research that I should have done!
The site scales the images so it’s not as visually different as it would be otherwise
How the fuck do you even see anything? Forget being hit by someone else. I’d be more worried about not seeing a downed powerline or a deer.
Or children
See, this argument assumes you care about the lives of deer and children
I actually think this is true. It often feels like USians treat the problem of pedestrian, especially child, deaths like those parents of the kid that died from measles.
Not sure I agree. The 1976 regular cab you linked is 16 foot 5 inches.
The modern regular cab you linked is 17 foot, 5 inches.
But that’s not what the original image is checking. If we also check the current SuperCrew+ShortBed, that one is 19 foot, 4 inches.
So yeah, trucks are 3 feet longer and yet have less cargo room in the bed.
(And yes, TY for finding the links!)
