Lol, half ton shortbeds are the most useless pile of shit trucks that ever stepped foot on this earth. Though I will admit, being a redneck farmer I do like the King Ranch trim on the Fords, but they're only exclusive to those fricking crewcabs and not the superior extended cab long bed.
I understand the hatred for crew cabs, I drove a single cab for the last 20 years. Bought it because I wanted the shortest wheelbase 3/4 ton I could get and I hated the look of 4 door trucks.
Now I have a 4 door with a 6.5' bed, needs a half acre to turn around but it rides so nice that idgaf. The convenience of having 4 doors is hard to beat.

It’s not 1964 anymore, when pickups were glorified tractors.
Agreed spending 50k plus for a half ton with a 5.5 - 6 foot bed is lame. At least get the long bed. Not really a fan of crew cabs in general. Reg cab or ext cab long bed is where its at.
That started in 2004 with the super crew cab 4 door Lariat F150. Before that truggs still had high ground clearance with short cabs and if they were 4 doors then they had little cuck doors. The modern 4 door sedan with a midget bed and low floor all modern trucks have was started by ferd with picrel. It changed everything and set sales records. I remember reading how amazed experts were with how the super crew can 5.5 beds config were #1 in sales and often spec'd out in high trims.
He's talking about luxury trims, not the popular configuration. And I believe it truly started with the King Ranch trim back in 2001 with the 10th generation "jellybean" F150. Or you could argue that it started with the Harley Davidson trim, even though the aforementioned trim was more of a sports oriented truck.

Yes but it wasn't popular until 2004 with the 11th gen. The vast majority of jelly beans are normal old pickups with short cabs and long beds. The modern 4 door sedan luxo barge trucks started with the 11th gen f150 and is a trend that still persists to this day.

I hate modern Chevy and GM, so you’re not gonna get a whole lot of praise from me about this thing. Feels like it’s trying to emasculate the other two trucks just so that it can say it did rather than actually overcompensating.
Hard question because they would buy anything from the big three. But I see a lot of rich farmers and ranchers exclusively drive Ram HDs towing livestock trailers, more than I see them in Chevy's or Fords. Though I remember my time at an autoshow talking to an old farmer who owns a new Ford truck say he would never touch a Ram with a 10 foot pole.
Citygay here. Ford and GM both outnumber Rams out on the road by a lot. When I see trucks towing shit though, especially 3-car trailers, most of them seem to be Ram HDs. There must be something about them over the other two.
I'm guessing it's because Ram HD's have Cummins which is preferred over Chevy's Duramax or Ford's Powerstroke.
Also Ram's are more expensive.

It's cause of Cummins. The Ram 2500 is just a delivery system for the Cummins Engine, exception being made for the Power Wagon which has a ton of frame/body changes to meet its designed role.
similar in TX, along with lexus body on frame SUV's. jeeps are less common here, but suburbans/tahoes are really big in TX with ownership and management types, probably because texas is tons of 80mph interstate/highway.
Which electric truck is going to pull a fifth wheel toy hauler?

"Buy a Cummins and get a free Dodge/Ram" They're called shipping crates for a reason. The engine is godly but the rest of the truck is shit.
Jesus, all three of those trucks look ugly as shit. What will it take for automakers to make simple "retro-modern" boxy/bricknosed looking trucks again, something like the nuBronco in mind? Aerodynamics and safety regulations be damned.
It's almost impossible to find a good picture of a truck online. They always look much better IRL, even the fugly ass GM's. The new Bronco looks way the frick worse. This is as close as you're going to get to a "retro" looking truck while still meeting all the bullshit ass safety standards, aerodynamic requirements and cooling requirements.

That truck could outlast the big three's half-ton gassers. No competition. Toyota has a reputation for it's reliability and durability.
I’ve had 2 sequoias(first and 2nd Gen) and they were far and away the most reliable and capable cars I’ve ever had. 240k miles on the 01 with zero powertrain issues, most we had to do was replace the upper control arms when the bushings started to fail.
the new tundras are having turbo problems. maybe it'll get fixed, but the new basedtundra will never be as bulletproof as the iforce v8
That Tundra would have looked a little better had they not given it a long fricking nose, a moronicly huge fricking grill, and awful looking tail lights. Looks like a Californian designed that.
They also shot themselves in the foot for killing off the single cab configuration. It's a shame because Ford, GM and Nissan are the only ones that offer them for their respective trucks, but not Toyota or Ram.
Sorry but friendless incels aren’t a large segment of the market so the half cab is not in style. Most people will find themselves wanting to put kids or other passengers in their car frequently and since it’s not the 70’s they’re not gonna put them in the bed. Tradies buy vans. So who is gonna buy a single cab?
Single cabs offer the longest bed, same with extended cabs. I've seen fellow tradies (and Mexican landscapers) drive half-ton and 3/4 ton trucks with those configurations around all the time, sometimes with flatbeds because they're probably are aware that a stupid crew cab shortbed is the most impractical piece of garbage ever made. Crewcabs shortbeds are exclusively for suburban dads who just want to larp as either tradesman or country folk but drive these things to their shitty air conditioned office job and only haul a bag of dirt and mulch for their wife's garden once a year. Once in a blue moon will I see someone with a crewcab shortbed on the site.

There's also no crew cab long bed. They also reduced interior space for both crew cab and extended cab, despite making the vehicle footprint larger.

Rams are for drunk drivers, Ford for people that know how to fix their cars, and Chevy used to be known for true reliability but it's a complete joke now
you will never be a truck. you have no bed, you have no trailer hitch, you have no payload. you are a compact sedan twisted by modifications into a crude mockery of texas' perfection.
Pretty sure all American trucks are 'downrated' on cargo weight and trailering capacity due to insurers. Long story short, the truck has to handle almost the same at 'full' as it does with a single passenger. You could probably put a ton or more in the bed of a fullsize and it'd work but the vehicle would drive dramatically different (it would drive like a box truck) and US insurers would freak out about the liability.
Chevy pickups seem to get the most use. there's a lot of women who buy F150s to get groceries, and a lot of rednecks who buy Rams because it's the cheapest pickup they can afford
You can't find a new Raptor for sale for less than $20,000 over MSRP. It's the undisputed king of trucks. TRX is kino but I think the Raptor is better looking, has the more iconic brand, and its mpg isn't half bad (2x better than the TRX?)
Large scale land owners drive Platinum Editions, not Raptors. Raptors are what their sons drive or a mid tier business owner attempting to project wealth.
It's just a slightly bigger and slightly beefed up F-150. If you go out and drive it like a prerunner or trophy truck as you larp as a desert racer then yeah it's going to break.
The one that started the modern lux truck trend is still the king IMO

Farmers should have kids, therefore the crew cab is superior to the supercab.
you can buy more than one vehicle brah

Kids get the jumpseats. No need for a full second row.
kids go in the bed, holding the cargo as a bonus, or atleast thats how I used to travel in my dads truck

Why would you get a long bed when you know you're never going to haul anything oversized in the bed?

Large scale land owners drive Platinum Editions, not Raptors. Raptors are what their sons drive or a mid tier business owner attempting to project wealth.
If you can get approved for and swing an $80K loan on a new Raptor you are relatively wealthy. The average DA moron can't swing an $20K car note.
raptors are for sensitive manlets prone to angry outburts
Sam Hyde bought a raptor only to wreck it in under a year or something kek
It's just a slightly bigger and slightly beefed up F-150. If you go out and drive it like a prerunner or trophy truck as you larp as a desert racer then yeah it's going to break.
It's still his daily driver tho.
Idk I saw a vid where he said something about “back when I had the raptor”
How long is the current wait list on a Raptor if I walk into a high volume dealer and place a deposit?
6 months + 30k markup + tip
Two year waiting list. You might get it by December 2023 if you're lucky.
