I get that they and all their up-voters might have valid reasons for needing a one. But at this point I'm not sure if they can even imagine buying anything other than a truck.

Wishing upon the stars that the oversized cars may still be oversized, but a tick smaller. And that last one just needs a Van.

These commenters at least sound like they want to use a truck for its purpose, they want something smaller, easier and cheaper to drive, and with a large bed. They seem to have issues with the massive bloat we've seen. I've got no issues with people who genuinely use trucks and want a functional truck, my issues are with the ego babies, office workers who genuinely never use the bed or never need the power a truck can offer.
