In other words, you don’t have enough confidence to use this truck to its full capability and are selling it because you paid way more than you should have for it.

So true. It all depends on what you wanted. Rember, this is a Raptor folks, not a regular Bronco. I love my Outer Banks with the 2.3 liter turbo. It's just what I wanted. And yes, it kills off-road in southern Oregon.

So if you use it 99.9% of the time for just hauling stuff around, perhaps an Ideal solution would be the exact opposite in the fuel mileage spectrum. One of those little import micro trucks.

[@waynejordan7473]

Just seen a kei truck pulling a Tesla

[@Idelia412]

I had several small pickups of years ago. I owned a 1978 Toyota Longbed Hilux model which was the bottom model. I paid $5400 for it, no air, no power windows, vinyl seats, etc. It was good to about 150,000 miles and just was falling apart. My best truck I owned was a Ford 1989 Ranger again a stripped model, and paid $7200 for it out the door. I got 267,000 miles out of it before it wore out and would not pass inspection. It was a wonderful truck with 5 speed stick on the floor. Today you cannot buy a basic truck anymore, and the Ford Ranger now has blown up to be a four door which I would not own. I want a truck for hauling with truck cab, not to be used as a family car. Again, you cannot get it with roll up windows, vinyl floor mats and seats. No, they have add a lot of high tech stuff which I do not want.

So in other words you aren't selling because of any inherent flaws, you're selling because of your own specific needs that do not apply to anybody else who isn't a KZbinr wanting a more flashy car to show off on the internet. The unreliability spoof was fake, and the only applicable downsides you mentioned were its size and mpg which is readily available info online.
