Which one holds more cargo?

The superduty, and it’s not even close.

2001 Tacoma: 1,600lb in the bed or 5,000lb towed 22/25 mpg EPA 2018 F250: 3130lb in the bed or 17,600lb towed (not EPA tested, real world 16mpg, Lie-O-Meter usually shows 18mpg)

I really don’t understand the fetish for small pickup trucks. They aren’t coming back, if only due to safety standards. Plus, you can’t get in them while wearing a hard hat.

The smaller trucks are primarily for non-business uses like hauling smaller amounts of lumber or mulch, possibly with a smaller trailer in tow. You know, situations where nobody is wearing a hard hat.

Do people really get into trucks with hard hats on?

Every day.

Why not use a regular pickup truck for the smaller amounts? They have them for rent at every Home Depot. I’ve never understood keeping a toy pickup around to haul some bags of mulch, minivan does the same thing.

Minivan is enclosed and you can’t hose it out.

A minvan is just an enclosed truck anyway.
