    Where I live on Vancouver Island you need a 4x4 and a truck makes the most sense because 4runners are too expensive

    Also because it literally never stops raining it’s useful to have a place to put wet things outside of the cab

      Because those are the literal only two types of 4x4 in existence, right? Smaller cars don’t ever have 4x4 capability

      Also because it literally never stops raining it’s useful to have a place to put wet things outside of the cab

      Plastic liner or bin in the trunk. Bonus that it won’t keep getting more wet

      I love seeing people insecure as fuck because hey actually know deep down they don’t need the truck, so they come up with “reasons” they need it

        We need ground clearance too lol

        Also awd isn’t 4x4

        Also if you put wet things inside the cab and turn on the heater you are going to have a condensation nightmare

        Maybe stay in your own lane gamer dude

          And there are vehicles other than trucks or 4-runnerd that have that.

          Also awd isn’t 4x4

          Never said AWD, I said 4x4

          Also if you put wet things inside the cab

          Never said put it in the cabin, I said put it in the trunk

          Maybe stay in your own lane gamer dude

          I’d love to, but these oversized pavement princesses are forcing me to dodge around them because they can’t control a big, heavy vehicle.

              Which small vehicles

              Before you play the goalposts game: I said smaller, not small, though some listed would probably count as small:

              New vehicles

              And since price was the initial complaint: [used](https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=used+small+4x4, though if that gives you too many trucks

              You’ll notice almost immediately that there are many 4x4 vehicles with ground clearance that aren’t also gigantic trucks that will go unused for their main intended purpose.

                First link, most vehicles aren’t available here. Yeah I totally wish we got the Suzuki Jimny and Dacia duster but we don’t

                So the only options are Tacoma (expensive) and ranger (no longer a small truck)

                Subaru is popular here but people prefer domestic vehicles due to parts availability here

                Second link just shows me a bunch of body on frame vehicles (full sized trucks and suvs)?

                You’ve got me totally confused gamer dude, what models do you want my neighbours to drive exactly? Why are you so condescending, especially considering you have zero knowledge on this topic

        Uh oh, found the terminally online guy.

        Nobody is “insecure” about owning a truck, because normal people just use their vehicle as they see fit. They aren’t worried about what some basement dweller thinks of their vehicle use lol

        Peak brain dead take of the whole thread ⭐

          Homie I can see you and at least one other person whining in every thread possible about how your use case is valid

          They aren’t worried about what some basement dweller thinks

          Nice ad hominem, bud, really shows you’re not defensive. How about the opinion of someone on land with livestock, yet doesn’t feel the need to own a truck? Isn’t that, like, the exact person you guys claim needs one so desperately after all?

            I’m really confused as to why you think people need to justify owning a truck. Do I, or anyone, owe you or anyone else an explanation on why we have a certain type of vehicle?

            My use case is valid, simply because I deem it so.

            Others use cases are valid, simply because they deem it so.

            It’s really that simple.

      This is the kind of nuance Lemmy isn’t prepared for. You either hate trucks, or fuck you
