We need utes and small unibody trucks for this. There are like 7 people in the world that need an F-250 to tow around an entire herd of horses. Most people with trucks treat them exactly the same as they'd treat a station wagon. Kids in the back, big slobbery dog in the far back, spends 99% of its time on the road with only the driver inside, never used for towing.
Half of the trucks sold now have premium leather interiors and cost mercedes benz money for what's essentially going to be a bigger commuter car with poorer fuel economy than an f1 car.
I'm a big fan of weird ass cars. I'd recommend something like a [https://www.smythkitcars.com/](Smyth Kit Ute) which I can attest personally to the fit and finish on, having a friend who built one in a couple of weekends and let me borrow it to move once. You could also try and get an imported Kei truck, which can be found on a variety of import sites, or a ton of other sites specific to servicing and selling Kei cars and trucks in the US, though they will all be at least 25 years old, due to US car import laws. (It really should only be like 15 years, 25 is such a stupidly long limit.)
They're also insanely expensive lol. They cost as much as, usually more, than most luxury vehicles.
That's what always gets me with the fucking commercials, the dissonance between the advertiser calling truck owners hard working tough boys while the msrp is like 60k lmao
RRRRGH, WORKING MAN! GET YOUR $75,000 PICKUP FOR WORK! GRRR, REAL MEN NEED TO BE ABLE TO RIP THEIR ENTIRE APARTMENT BUILDING OUT OF THE GROUND! THEY NEED A TRUCK THAT COSTS AS MUCH AS A HOUSE!
Eh, everything's imported, even the cars made there for their own domestic market are imported, so it's all ridiculously expensive. Win some, lose some. Cool utes, but also dial up speed broadband. Great Barrier Reef, but also random power outages. Kangaroos, but also Koalas.
