99% of people would be better served by getting their stuff delivered or renting a truck the two days a year they need to haul stuff.
The majority of the pickups we see today in the streets are status symbols driven by insecure people, as evidenced by the truck bed not having a single scratch.
Scratches are not indicative of use. I’ll definitely be getting a truck in the future, it’s nice to be able to haul things, take canoes / kayaks out, have more room for our family trips we take many times a year where a small SUV barely cuts it. We’ve had to take two cars places before so yes a truck would be really nice.
Some people do, but it’s a dead giveaway when a truck bed is so small it can’t hold a sheet of plywood, AND the truck is super clean AND it doesn’t have any dents and scratches.
At that point it’s obviously not being used for what it was originally designed for.
Because they take up too much room on the roads, make a shit ton of noise, are less safe for other users of the road, are less versatile than other vehicles. Those were the objective reasons.
Now for the subjective reasons: they’re ugly as sin, expensive as fuck, the fuel cost is too high and they suck at driving in the snow.
They don’t really say on their website how much less range it has once you attach a trailer to it, beware.
Also the vehicle being so high and wide means it’ll be hard to park. That alone should be a deal breaker for anyone living close to a city.
The extended cab means less room in the bed. If the goal is to carry stuff, you are losing both room and range. Your stuff also is gonna get wet unless you buy something additional to cover them.
EV large pickups seem to me like the worst of both world when I stop and think about it.
What? Why’s that?

That’s true, but you need a truck to haul things. There are TONS of reasons to own a truck

Sounds like you need a minivan.

Not less versatile, that’s for sure. Way more versatile. I’m looking at the GMC Denali EV truck. They are pricey though
