Again you're just comparing the top of the line options.

A single cab 150 is still available to purchase.

You've been done in by someone pushing an agenda by obscuring facts.

And yet, find me one parked on a lot (you know, where fleets buy from). In fact, look at every "work truck" you see on your way home and count how many are reg cabs vs ext 4 door /crew with a 5.5 ft box. Bet you irl you see at least 4 crew to every reg, if not more.

I don't see any Brazilians on the way home. But I know for sure that's a real place that people come from.

Also doesn't change the fact you're spreading misleading graphics. And deliberately being obtuse with your definitions.

Please, in what way am I being obtuse? I left an extremely broad definition of work truck lmao. And in what way are the graphics misleading? Seems you don't like the fact trucks have grown

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Work truck: something with company decals or ladders / equipment attached. extremely broad definition

That's not a broad definition. That's quite limiting. A carpenter doing small commissions isn't likely going to have massive decals on the side.

I have got a friend whose a landscaper, none of their work vehicles have decals. Not the vans or pickups.

in what way are the graphics misleading?

Already explained this. Ford still makes single cab trucks. The graphic doesn't show that.

Seems you don't like the fact trucks have grown

I never said they haven't. Although neither did you, that graphic you showed that the actual size of one specific model of Ford hasn't changed. Just the proportion of cab to bed.

But it sounds more like you already have a world in your head, and don't like the fact the real world doesn't line up with your views.

The real world does line up with my views though, lmao. Trucks have also grown bigger sideways, and longer. I daily a 96 Chevy in the winter, new Tacoma's, rangers and Colorados are literally the same size or bigger than me, and they are supposed to 1/4 tons. Hell, the Colorado and a half ton are literally built on the same platform.
