20 years of pickup truck design progress in one photo

Oh yeah…

@stux Pickup trucks are great vehicles... for doing what they were actually designed to do (haul cargo, tools, etc for work, drive on rough terrain, etc).

Buying them as urban cruisers is beyond ridiculous. I mean, do these people hate having good visibility and love having difficulty parking?

@nafnlaus @stux and the modern ones don't even work well for cargo because the bed is so high (and often shorter to accommodate the second row of seats in the cab, so that lumber no longer fits in the back)

@marten @nafnlaus @stux

I -still- own a 2003 ranger precisely because I can easily hop up into the (large) bed. I've used that bed literally hundreds of times to haul wood, wood chips, autumn leaves, sofas, bikes, kayaks (yes plural) and yucky recycling. It will can hold a full size piece of plywood flat in the bed. Try doing that with virtually any of the newer pickups, including the new rangers.

@CJPaloma @marten @nafnlaus @stux I drive my mistress' 2000 Ranger and because of the crewcab I can't fit wood properly in the bed. That is infuriating!
