This doesn’t make any sense. You live out in the country, you’re probably going to need a truck. You aren’t going to haul horse shit, lime, a crap ton of chicken feed, or water for your cistern in a car or even a SUV. But you should be buying a vehicle that actually fits the work being done and if it’s a small truck then buy a small truck and not giant penis extender with no ability to haul a damn thing.
Could be. I’m not in the camp of all cars are bad.
The whole discussion about the, in my opinion, worthless truck in the picture and when you state you have a car seat without clarification about a ute or a compact truck, then it’s assumed you’re talking about the need for one of those dumb things that all suburbanites seem to want and buy.
And I’m not saying that just blanket small truck ownership is okay either, I’m of the opinion you should buy the car that fits what you need and wish we had a society and cities that could get me to not even driving day to day. So to me even a guy that lives in a small town only to drives to and from work only and never hauls a thing still doesn’t need a small truck that gets crappy gas mileage.

Ok, so is this whole discussion a misunderstanding?
I’m saying “there are valid uses for a truck” and (from what I thought) everyone else is saying “all trucks are bad, you don’t need a truck”.
But now you’re saying that the discussion is explicitly the exact truck that’s in the photo and small trucks are ok? Is that what you’re saying?
