    the hilarious irony is that modern trucks are often useless for hauling any decent loads because they’re crew cabs and jacked up for no fucking reason. To purchase a truck with a large bed often requires a special order and weeks of waiting.

      I have a weird truck, it’s a ten year old F150 with a single cab and an 8 foot bed. It’s the only one I see that isn’t obviously a company truck, and it used to be a hardware store rental truck. It carries building materials, motorcycles, junk to the dump, all with the tailgate safely closed. I don’t like the little 5 foot beds on the crew cab trucks, it’s like you have this giant truck and all you can carry are small things. It’s as useful as a Ford Taurus.
