The super tall oversized trend is actually terrible for nost uses in rural areas too. It is far harder to see what is around you and to squeeze through tight places compared to an old s10 or ranger.
It’s like everyone went in on making the size commonly used for pulling horse trailers but without the fifth wheel. Hard to blame people for not buying what isn’t being manufactured anymore.
Yep. I own a pickup that I actually use and let me tell you I hate how tall that bastard is. I’ve mentioned before that I miss my old Datsun. My buddy had a Courier. We could load shit in the bed of both without worrying about it being a two person job because it was actually low enough to toss shit in the bed without having someone to hand it up to.
Even smaller models like the S10 and Ranger are far too tall now. Where’s my stripped down, low without being a lowrider, useful truck? Put that sumbitch on the market and I’d pick it up.
Yeah, my apologies. I was just apoplectic with rage that they had the audacity to include a Hilux. One of the most important and best vehicles ever built - probably.
So it is. Didn’t even know they existed. Less pick-uppie than a Hilux, apparently. More car like in its set up. I’d still imagine its abilities are head and shoulders above the other things in the image.
In an urban environment, yes.

I just saw the Hilux, but yeah, the rest of those vehicles are terrible poser machines and not fit for purpose.
Interrupting a circle jerk is poor manners.

that’s a Tacoma

Probably. It’s just not as monumental as the mighty Hilux, being a (mostly) north american thing, made to appeal to them.
Whether you’re building a new fence for your Victorian era farmhouse or deposing a warlord …. The HiLux is your vehicle.
