Not Just Bikes 🇳🇱So many Europeans are telling me that they've been seeing a lot of the "huge" Ford Ranger trucks appearing in their cities.
Wait until they find out that the Ford Ranger is a small Ford pickup truck, and most of them are significantly larger. 😬

Samuel Smith@knutson_brain @notjustbikes that's part of a solution, but the real problem is that we don't have much of a choice in America.
I needed a truck and the smallest one I could get was a Toyota Tacoma. My old neighbor has an older Tacoma that's about half the size of mine!
We need more choices in America but the corporations offer what they want to sell over what we want to buy. There's also a concerted campaign to program us into thinking bigger cars are safer.
Look; both vehicles here are the same model, same bed size and carry the same number of people.

you need a truck how often? for what? etc...
@darwinwoodka @knutson_brain @notjustbikes moving myself to another state (hopefully not often!), Garden supplies, building supplies... I replaced two bathroom vanities over last weekend, for example.
Also, camping is easier with a six foot bed. 😊
