Pickups used to be useful, now they are pretty. They used to be heavy and solid, with low beds you could reach, and bench seats that fit four. Now they have so much lift they’re practically useless, they have buckets seats, and the gay boys who drive them are more concerned about scratches than working.
If I needed a pickup now, I’d buy a 1970s ford and fix it up.
They're good for hauling cargo that no one will steal, or that it doesn't matter if it gets soaking wet.
That’s exactly what I’m considering since my truck is now a 3’rd car. I wouldn’t want that for an everyday driver. Maybe add up to 10k and drive it selectively and have a modern day city car for daily transportation chores.
The mid-90’s Powerstrokes are nice, classic looking, functional trucks. Would love to have one, make it two tone. Miss that on a truck, they’ve gotten too automotive in their styling for it to look right anymore I guess. Make mine that seafoam metallic color with silver or white on the sides and tailgate, lol.
