Why a pickup at all? Past forty or more years there’s a whole subset out there that believes these trucklets are useful. Crash statistics are abominable, there’s not anything worse. The whiners.

100+ miles per day commute calls for something better. Hell, a Crown Vic would have lasted longer than 300k yet still seen 25+ (and better). Excuses about convenience don’t cut it when safety akways trumps FE, and FE itself trumps perceived “usefulness” (as trailer spec would be what matters).
