What other options are sold in Canada?

Tundra? Tacoma? Santa Cruz? Frontier? Ridgeline?

At least two of those are unibodies and not really "trucks" in the classical sense. Then again, the truck in the OP is a "trail boss" which is pretty much always driven by morons that live in the middle of town and never do anything that actually requires a truck.

At one point so you require body on frame over unibody?

~~To do any sort of real towing or hauling? Absolutely~~

Sorry, I misunderstood. I would not want to do any real torque-heavy towing with a unibody. Things like a cattle trailer or pulling out a stuck tractor. You're likely to destroy the frame on a unibody doing these kinds of things.

Nice to see that on a big truck for a change

[–] drool@lemmy.catsp.it 3 points 3 days ago

Misread it as "Buy a Canadian"

[–] TheGoddessAnoia@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 days ago

I would really prefer to just buy Canadian. The preliminary thought makes me nauseous to the point of hurling yesterday's breakfast!
