Hard to find a normal full-size truck anymore, you practically have to talk to the fleet manager to find one, they’re all so tarted up. They’re SUV’s with a bed now, for the most part.
I don’t see a lot of new vehicles up here. But a 1/2 ton RWD pickup is a rare sight. Plenty of conventional and extended cab 4x4s, both 1/2 and 3/4 ton.
I still fail to see the application though...other than “it’s cool”. Maybe they haul a lot of firewood. The best use, of course, is as a plow-truck.
