I just don’t understand what the big deal is, what’s so wrong with having the extra cab space in a crew cab? I guess I just rely on ole Burt Gummer’s logic too much in Tremors; If you need it and don’t have it, you sing a whole different tune.
Again, that’s all fine and dandy but why does it sound as though you just dont like that these four-door, short, short bed half-ton trucks are made? Keep complaining about it all ya want but just as I told you before, if you just absolutely want a regular cab truck with a “manly” 8 foot bed, you can get one in a 3/4-ton truck which is better suited for “truck-ly” jobs.
You mean like the ecodiesel that was built for european caddies?... personally, if I had a choice, I think id prefer them over Fiats quality control issues. But then Ive recently been told they merges with the french company Peugeot ... I guess I cant play anymore Eddie Rabbit songs while driving it.
That’s pretty much how I feel as well but unlike this dude, I’m not gonna go off on regular cab long bed trucks just because I don’t like them.
Being as how growing up, most trucks were single cab, and any time I saw a "3+3" square body Chevy it looked weird, I think all these 4 door trucks are what looks out of proportion. Especially with such short beds!
There’s nothing wrong with being old school but if you want a real definitive answer to why all these trucks- especially the half-tons are like they are today is because that’s what sells. The Ram 1500 along with other brands has been more domesticated to the point that they’re just glorified full-size SUVs with truck beds if you really wanna know. That’s what the majority of the consumer market wants. They want luxury, they want that big crew cab to fit all their friends, family and kids, they want it to ride good for long trips, get groceries, take the kids to school and soccer practice but hey, doing that in a Tahoe gets boring. People like trucks. That’s pretty much why I said, I don’t know why this bothers you for whatever reason but at least they still make the truck trucks in the heavy duty class.
Yeah but I kinda sense a bit of it animosity, though. If you want a work truck, what’s wrong with it being at least a 3/4-ton? I’m not saying you in general feel this way as this goes out to everyone but I guess I just don’t understand why people don’t like the domestication of half-tons when there is a much better alternative for people who work their trucks. The 2500’s are built better and stronger. They got solid front axles. Better drive-trains. My 2018 Limited had been the go-to for long trips even over my girlfriend’s late model Civic. Mine is far more comfortable, has a bigger back seat, better seats, easier to get in and out of and just despite her gas mileage being twice what mine is, we’d all far more prefer to take my truck on long trips over her car and to top it all off, even though my bed might be smallest of the three, I still got far more stowage room over the average trunk; and it’s waterproof with that solid fiberglass tonneau cover for not only luggage but a cooler and whatever **** you may end up dragging home with you. Lol.
No I'm with ya. My previous truck (F-150) my buddy called it a car. Had heated seats, sunroof, all the stuff I really didn't want but when buying used it's sometimes hard to be picky but I admit was nice to drive. I sure miss the ride lol. Bed covers are awesome! I'll be ordering one soon for my Ram. 2500's are stronger and hopefully last longer which is why I went to one. Hope mine lasts me a long time.
Yep. There’s still plenty of old trucks out there that fit that old school bill of yesterday. You just gotta find them and give ‘em a little bit of love.
