F150’s are baby trucks. Good luck hauling anything over 4000 lbs for a long distance.

And, sadly, absurdly unaffordable any longer to an average working dad like me.

Would love an F350 crew cab with a long bed, but it’s gonna have to wait a few decades. They’ll probably be illegal by then!

They are sedans with open trunks. Any "truck" without an 8 foot box isn't a truck, it's a toy. The exception are those with upfit specialized rigs for certain jobs but those just get dropped on 250/2500 chassis.

The issue I see is that these "grocery getters" just clog of the roads, get relatively poor gas mileage, don't handle all that well and are usually driven by morons thumping their chest about "Muh truck". Not to mention the blocky front end that literally, yes literally kills people. Look that one up. IF they sloped them back, it'd probably save hundreds of lives annually but you know "muh truck".
