What sucks is you can’t even buy a truck like the second from the left anymore. I mean, you can buy a used one from a few decades ago, but nobody makes small utility trucks like the old Rangers. The new Ranger is basically just an old F150 (maybe even F250).
The Maverick seems like a reasonable size to me, but by the time I need to replace another car, I'm sure its size will have inflated beyond what I want.
I have the same problem with phones.
I assume there's some kind of growth formula I'm supposed to have learned about and started taking, but I don't go to the right parties. /sarcasm
They exist but the US seems intent on keeping out.
I know, right?! I can go across the border and buy one in Mexico, but I can’t buy one here. It’s infuriating!
Cab over engine trucks have existed for a very long time and have models that would absolutely have ~60% of their foot print be bed
I responded to your comment that said they have never been a thing. never.
I never contradicted any of this, I don't know of a modern one. You said they never existed... They did.
I love my 09 ranger, one of the last years before they scrapped it and went with the Goliath model.
Honestly don't see the appeal to the huge trucks unless they're for work, but it's not surprising that automakers in North America don't really care to offer what consumers actually want to drive.
