i grew up in the country and rural exceptionalism makes me want barf two times and die. get over yourself, honey. your grandpa got by just fine with a truck practically half the size in every metric
There are tractors being used today that are double the weight of anything commercially available 50 years ago, and having them allows more efficient farming practices. A gas powered tractor in the 1950s (which most were) might be less than 12 feet across, things have changed drastically since then. If there aren’t large pickups available for farm trucks, semis will need to be used to transport them.
If your point of view was defensible, you wouldn’t need to mischaracterize every view that contradicts it. What is gained from transparently lying to yourself?

Correct, and he kept the thing running for fucking thirty years to boot.
I don't know what you think you're arguing with me about.

factory farming is hella sustainable and not destructive at all and furthermore most pickups sold are used on small family farms
