Fuck SUVs in particular. - Lemmy.world

I have no idea why F-150's keep getting bigger. Do people really like that shit? Old trucks are so much better, from design to MPG.

I think there’s a huge percentage of truck drivers who never use their truck for truck stuff. It’s simply a status symbol to them which is pathetic. And bigger equals better in their feeble minds.

I have a 13 yr old Tacoma and it’s tiny compared to even the modern “small” trucks. When this thing finally dies, I have no idea what I’ll get. I love the size of it though. Maybe a Ford Maverick, but those are on backorder for years I heard from several friends who tried to get one.

Even the new Tacoma is still smaller than those F-150 monstrosities. The only other small pickup other than the Maverick is the Santa Cruz, but it isn’t really a utility truck if you actually need to haul a ton of stuff.
What about the Ranger?
Despite being a “smaller” truck, that’s still bigger than many 2010 Tacomas. In Ford’s lineup, only the Maverick is under 200" long, less than 70" tall. Despite being a “teeny tiny truck”, it’s still bigger than a 1995 Ranger by a fair margin.
