The SHOCKING Reality of Small Trucks Nobody Talks About

[@jimcurrier2166]

If you needed a small truck .........you DID NOT need a truck.

[@matt4262]

Yeah, 1 ton or none!!

Government gas milage rules chicken tax killed these trucks

[@ebogar42]

You can do this thing called buying a used vehicle with low miles for a lot less than 29K. They're still affordable. The newer trucks are a lot nicer than an S10 from the 90s. Have you ever looked at the interior and how cheap those budget cars were back then?

[@CarTalkChronicles]

True... but in 80s we did not have so many fancy cars and trucks to compare to or be used to, like we do now.

It was getting hard to find a F150 2dr 8' bed. A Truck doesn't have 4 doors, but sure, why not. For people, a car, or in my case a Mini-van is so much more useful. Need two vehicles if your toys won't fit in a trunk. I have Big Toys.

It will cycle back around and the small trucks will make a comeback

I really miss budget friendly trucks and cars

[@ebogar42]

I don't miss cheap looking vehicles. The interior, stereo, and other parts were so cheap.

[@paint1016]

@ebogar42 I don't like ridiculously expensive vehicles made out of plastic and you can't work on because of a thousand sensors. They are more disposable now.

[@ebogar42]

@ I would think it would be like any part. Sensors you can buy and can find out which one is bad if you had the computer to find the problems. Then just swap it out. Most people including myself has never purchased a good diagnostic tool so have to take them to people to fix when you could probably easily do it yourself.

[@CarTalkChronicles]

Same!

Small, Medium, Large trucks of today are not worth what you pay for them; None are reliable as the trucks of the 70's 80's 90's , & yes even the early 2000's I had a couple of small trucks in the late 70's, & 80's both were reliable but your towing most of the time was limited to under 2,000 lbs. Small trucks had there place then, & there might be a market for them in the future, They'll all face the same problems of today's trucks; Price, & reliability, & cheap is still over priced compared too yesterday's standards.I have 2 full size trucks a 99 1 ton dump truck, & a 2003 1/2 ton extra cab 4x4 both are very reliable, & meet my needs, & are used for what I bought them for. I'll probably never go back to smaller trucks; That's why I have a small car.
