WarningL just a ramble. If I have a real point, I don't know exactly what it is... other than truck size is sometimes just a happenstance, not social commentary! When we went looking a few years ago for a "normal" sized used pickup in our (quite low) price range, we were really discouraged by the offerings and prices. We ended up with a giant F350 extended bed/cab that is waaayyy too much for our needs but so affordable as to make that moot. It's also pretty ugly with a few dents, and we are pretty "meh" about transport vehicle looks, so... Around here we see a lot of big pickups. Not many small ones. Haven't seen a cyber truck here other than passing through. DH likes his big truck, whilst I would appreciate one that will fit into a single parking space and navigate coffee drive-thrus! The Telo is cute, but out of our budget, and I'm frankly not convinced that an electric vehicle would serve us well. We can stockpile some gas against an emergency, but we can't stockpile electric. I know it's possible with solar/wind and batteries, but again, not us, not now. IL, I'm wondering why would a 2009 truck needs babied? Our Ford is a 1998, has over 300K miles (brought it from a carny) and runs just fine. No snark there, and I know the 350 is built to do serious crap. But I would (quite possibly erroneously) think that Ford trucks used for their intended purpose should have similar life-spans. But I'm not a car/truck person, in general, so what do I know?
