    The only thing that had broken was one of the rear reflectors, and that’s only because my dad crushed it

    After two years of near-daily use, the truck is holding up admirably. I know that fact is going to drive the haters up a wall

    Bruh, of all possible criticisms?

      Did you miss the part where he had to replace the shocks, the tires, restore the bed … ?

        shocks for comfort, tires wear out, and he put a bed liner in like the vast majority of trucks have. Nothing out of the ordinary.

          The shocks were the wrong stiffness for the application, the tires wore out very quickly, and I forgot that the seats were also disintegrating after only two years. That’s not what I expect from a light truck or any other quality farm equipment. This is a vehicle for somebody who wants to continually maintain and upgrade it.

            They were springs, not shocks. Of course it was too stiff for exclusive use on a farm, it’s expected to do most of its driving on roads in China. The tires didn’t wear out, he wanted knobbier tyres for the farm. And you know what other vehicle always wore through its seat upholstery in 2 years? Nineties hiluxes. You know, the gold standard of rugged, simple reliability. And guess what, living on a farm those required a lot of maintenance too. It’s a machine, machines wear out with use even when they have Toyota badges.

            These cheap electric trucks are a return to simple, easily serviceable designs that you’d think ol’ boys would be cheering for. Instead all they do is cry about it. It’s culture war brain rot

              God forbid somebody have a unique point of view.

                Being misinformed and dishonest is not and will never be a valid or unique point of view. Your ignorance does not have the same weight as the truth.

                Schizophrenics have unique perspectives, that doesn’t mean, they’re correct or even valuable.

                It’s not unique, there are tons of people exactly as wrong as you are.

                It has nothing to do with your point of view. You’re misreading facts and then stating your incorrect understanding as fact. Point of views require a common factual base, which you haven’t shown to understand at all.
