Kevin LeecasterThese two vehicles have almost the same bed size.
Reply guys are pointing out that the width of the smaller one may be less, but idk.
John Carlsen 🇺🇸🇳🇱🇪🇺@GreenFire one of those trucks is made for work, the other for people who are all hat and no cattle.

@pineywoozle ‘s #3WordNote@johnlogic @GreenFire Not actually true as someone who’s owned and used a crew cab pickup for years. There are lots of dilettantes who own them for sure but where I come from in the Rockies, most of them are actual working trucks.
Tucker Teague@GreenFire I've actually been looking at buying one of those little trucks. Seems so practical.
petes_bread_eqn_xls@GreenFire If you’ll forgive the nitpick: the alt text identifies the American truck as a Dodge Ram, when it’s a massive Chevy Silverado

NP, I'll take your word for it.

climate voter/degrowthist@GreenFire I used to pull a small trailer with a 1970 Karmann Ghia. Took care of all my "truck" needs. And, of course, a fair amount of stuff can be carried with a cargo bike.
@GreenFire Back in the day, there was a significant amount of movement to what was called AT, or appropriate technology. Sadly, that ethic has almost disappeared.
Chill Bonobo@GreenFire It's so weird. The whole point of a truck is so you can put things in it.
I constantly see big trucks driving around with slightly larger than bathtub sized beds.
What a waste of everything.
@GreenFire those giant trucks are intimidating mini-vans.
So. Irresponsible- financially, resource wise, climate.
These are miserable psycho cultists.
Seems both Chevy (blue lives matter flag) and Ford (FJB Edition) have stupid maga add ons for the type of a-hole one subscribes to

Norman Wilson@RiaResists @GreenFire Mini-vans with fat asses.

@GreenFire funny, the first time this picture has been doing rounds it was correctly captioned as those beds having the same *length*.
Ronan@GreenFire one is for work, the other is for transporting a fragile ego.
But seriously, imagine the difference in effort it would be to lift things in and out of the huge one, compared with the lower bed of the van

Esme Ciredutemps@GreenFire what's a bed for a car ? (I'm french)
I only know the "place to sleep" meaning.

@ciredutempsEsme
We've taken to calling the back of our trucks, beds.
Plate-forme du camion?
@ciredutempsEsme
de nada
We use bed for a lot of things like that, for example garden beds comes to mind immediately.
@GreenFire oh it seems that bed is related to what is flat (plat·e)
Truck bed : plateforme
Garden bed : plate-bande (flat strip in french)

Interesting differentiation between what the serfs versus nobles used to describe things after the Norman invasion perhaps like pork versus pig and beef versus cow, but I'm not an etymologist.

Half Cocked Law@GreenFire same bed length, not width.
JW 🕸
Ron Dyck@halfcocked @GreenFire also no wheel wells intruding into the mini-trucks' bed, unlike the Silverado
BogusMeatFactory@GreenFire I made my way out to my old hometown today out in the country and I saw so many huge trucks with such tiny beds and I just didn't get it.
Frank Bennett 🇯🇵@GreenFire The sides of a HiJet mini-truck can be folded down. The size of the bed isn't a constraint.
patter@GreenFire this looks like one truck's hunting down the other
Chris Ferdinandi@GreenFire payload capacity of the bigger truck is almost certainly higher, but with a bed that small, it would be pretty hard to hit that capacity.
Towing capacity would be a lot higher too, but most folks who own trucks like that just like the look.
Incorrigible Maker for HARRIS@cferdinandi @GreenFire
I own a "truck like that", and believe me, fill it with a load of limerock or sand and you will hit capacity if you overdo it. I also use it to tow trailers - which I would not even attempt with the little Kei

@OlDude82 @GreenFire I hadn't considered that you'd load rock or other loose material in the bed. Fair point!
And absolutely on towing. We pull a small RV with an SUV, and I'm routinely jealous of people with trucks. So much more stable with the long, wide wheelbase.
Hubert Figuière@GreenFire and one has a bigger tax than the other. Not he biggest one.
Dave 🧱 
@GreenFire @slightlyoff I would like the website… I mean ‘truck’ on the left
Dave SH@GreenFire those little Suzukis are so sick.
paramnesiac@GreenFire Based on the door handles, the kei truck looks like a Honda Acty. The bed is 76" long and 55" wide (unobstructed).
The Chevy looks like a short bed, which is 70" long and 71" wide, but only 51" between the wheel wells.
The box height on the Chevy is double that of the Honda (22" vs 11.5").
Voline@GreenFire @mhoye Yes, but only the Chevy will make your penis bigger.
Locke@GreenFire Can you back it up? The Dodge looks a little bit bigger to me (both longer and broader). Can you elaborate?
chlo
Shanie MyrsTear@GreenFire One of these vehicles is being used as a truck, while one is likely being used as a motorcycle, carrying one. Doesn't matter the size of the bed.
Ghadeer Abou-Saleh@GreenFire wondering where this trend is going. Are people going to drive tanks next?
Analog AI@GreenFire the smaller one is easier to load, being lower to the ground. and a simple screen measurement says they are about the same width (assuming the ground is flat, and both vehicles about the same distance from the camera).
BlackDutchSnark@GreenFire and one is more likely to kill/severely injure pedestrians or the occupants of a car it hits head on
