But full-sized trucks like the F150 are some of the most amazingly inconvenient vehicles on the road currently? You can't fit them anywhere, can't park anywhere, the ride quality is dogshit without a huge load in the back or off-road, fuel costs are bankruptcy-inducing, they go through consumables like crazy and so on.

Somehow, it doesn't add up to me that people would prefer to face constant daily inconveniences for the sake of the one or two times a year it's useful rather than have a convenient time most of the time and have to come up with something occasionally.

It's not 1983, modern trucks are some of the most amazingly convenient vehicles on the road currently.

>You can't fit them anywhere, can't park anywhere, the ride quality is dogshit without a huge load in the back or off-road, fuel costs are bankruptcy-inducing, they go through consumables like crazy and so on.

They fit almost anywhere, can park them almost anywhere, have superior ride quality... high fuel costs and consumables are the cons.


Sales numbers seem to disagree...

Isn't Stellantis selling Ram 1500s at a pretty good clip in Europe no less.


With no contrast that's a little disingenuous. https://www.best-selling-cars.com/europe/2025-full-year-euro...
