I bought a new work truck last year, single cab. Why they are making most trucks with double cabs now is beyond me, why would you want one in the first place? I was thinking about buying another right now but single cabs are really hard to find now and I have NO USE for it.
“Why they are making most trucks with double cabs now is beyond me”
Because people now buy trucks as a status symbol to haul the whole family around for one thing.
I serve on my church’s parking team, you should see some of the trucks that come in, high level trim packages, a lot are 4x4 and the whole family bails out......I don’t know how people afford the fuel much less the payment......somebody’s got the money, but it sure ain’t me. 😏
I know someone here can answer your question but I have one that is probably easier to answer.
WHY are so many people buying/driving SUVs? I have to depend on caregivers or friends to get me to doctor appointments, grocery shop etc., and they all drive SUVs that I cannot get UP into without difficulty and then paying the price in pain for days to follow. I had to hire transportation to get to a doctor appointment a month ago and no one had a vehicle that was easy to get into. Had to settle for one that was available and the driver was a delight and did help but still painful.
I notice on surface streets (no interstate) just about every car you meet is an SUV and in parking lots, SUVs outnumber the sedans parked in the same row.
Maybe an even more difficult question - WHY DO WOMEN BUY THEM? I have new neighbors and the wife drives an SUV and the husband drives a sedan. I had a friend tell me they’re easier to park (??) and good on gas mileage.
I hope my last nonsense question for the day..
