      You don’t need a truck. Get rid of it.

        Unless you work as a handyman or farmer or something, you don’t need a truck. You can ask a friend or rent a trailer for the once in a year occurrence you need to transport something huge.

          Even handymen can work without them. My plumber and electrician drove hatchbacks.

            Bullshit is a plumber or electrician working out of a hatchback. I’ve seen tradies working out of station wagons, and the poor thing is usually dragging it’s ass on the ground like a dog with worms.

              Neat, I’ll let them know. But if you’ve any curiosity about it, the electrician is driving one of those seat delete Chevy Bolt EVs. I don’t know if he bought it directly or converted his own, but the back seats are removed, and a flat bed is installed.

              They look like this.

                That’s an SUV, not a hatchback.

                  No, the Bolt EV is not an SUV. The Bolt EV is a subcompact hatchback.

                    That doesn’t look very compact to me.

            I worked as a handyman out of a camry. It is possible, but not pleasant.

            It’s like telling an office worker that they need to work at a coffee table.

              Yes, fair, and to be clear I’m not suggesting that tradespeople turn in their work truck for a hatchback. Moreso saying that if tradespeople can make it work without a truck, certainly the rest of us can figure out a way to commute without a truck.

            In my case, an f350 to pull giant trailers for an auction business he runs.

          Of course I don’t know that, but the vast majority of truck owners have no real-world use for them, other than massaging their ego. So sure, this was a conclusion I pulled out of my ass, but my assculsion applies to a lot of people, and therefore most likely applies to our friend here.

            See, this condescending attitude is precisely why Lemmy is currently shrinking.

      If you already have a truck, you gotta learn from your past mistake and sell that thing for a smaller vehicle

          Unless you’re doing that sort of stuff super frequently you could rent one or borrow a friend with one. Should work out cheaper with the gas savings. That or get a station wagon.

        But then someone else who presumably doesn’t need a truck will be driving a truck
