Can’t believe this slipped to P2.....lol
This horse ain’t dead yet!
Have any of you stopped to think that this isn’t all “fashion” driven?
Everyone wants a more capable truck right? And don’t lie to me....even some of the crustiest old curmudgeons on here are rockin trucks that are towing around 20klb 5vrs.
What about bigger wheels = ability for higher capacity tires?
Then you want comfort with your capability, so now you get more spring travel or more progressive springs that need travel.
Now you got your generator, firewood, dog crates and whatever other stuff full timers weekend warriors and working men carry. That deeper bed is nice right? I like it, can have a deeper toolbox and a slip tank under it.
Some want to do some off-roading. Need some ground clearance.
Add up everyone’s wants and you get a new truck. Can’t make 8 differnet 1 ton chassis, not economical. So now you got a truck with enough power to tow 30k, ride like a Caddy, not get hung up on that trail and the only thing left to bitsch about is it’s too big....
Ever notice duallies are still low in front and little tires yet the back end is really high? That’s because the market wants a 3 ton payload cap in a 1 ton truck.
We all got what we want.......
