You live out in the country, you clearly didn't grow up in the country.

I grew up in the country, we had a truck with a full sized bed and a bench. You put the baby seat in the middle of the bench, strap it down like you do in the car and a lap belt and you pick up your chicken feed with your kid in the truck. Ain't rocket science here and you don't need to have a crew cab and a worthless short bed to do things out there.

Shit dude, if you're worried about scratches to your vehicle, maybe you should move back to the suburbs.

This still doesn't matter make sense. Lots of people have multiple kids and/or a spouse. Manufacturing more vehicles just to please your ego is not the economical or environmentally friendly thing to do.

This doesn't make any sense. You live out in the country, you're probably going to need a truck. You aren't going to haul horse shit, lime, a crap ton of chicken feed, or water for your cistern in a car or even a SUV. But you should be buying a vehicle that actually fits the work being done and if it's a small truck then buy a small truck and not giant penis extender with no ability to haul a damn thing.

Ok, so is this whole discussion a misunderstanding?

I'm saying "there are valid uses for a truck" and (from what I thought) everyone else is saying "all trucks are bad, you don't need a truck".

But now you're saying that the discussion is explicitly the exact truck that's in the photo and small trucks are ok? Is that what you're saying?
