I know you tried with the whole empathy thing but since the subject here is my needs for a truck saying I lack empathy for myself kinda falls flat.
Really, you are coming off as a sociopath that thinks they know better than everyone what is good for them. I know my needs better than you. For some trades a van is perfect. But for my jack of all trades a truck is a better choice. A small truck. Literally the kind of small truck that doesn’t get made in America anymore. Modern trucks are too big to actually be useful.
I don’t like any of the new trucks. A 20-year-old small truck like a ranger or S series is a better choice.
I need someone to sell a 1-ton capacity truck with an 8-ft bed where the top of the bed is no more than 3 and 1/2 ft tall. The truck needs to exist but the understanding that it will be abused and so a lot of fancy features that will break won’t be included. Stereo and HVAC should basically be the only internal features. They keep cramming more and more features into trucks to sell them for more and more money instead of building trucks that are built for actual work.
The bed height is too tall to comfortable side. Would it drive off to. One of the other things is happening on water trucks is the bed length keeps getting. IA standard 8-ft. Long board sticks too far out the back end and we’ve reduced overall carrying capacity over previous generation small trucks. And buy sticks too far out. I can only have the sheet of plywood or drywall is actually In the bed. Do an image search for “Ford Maverick plywood” And you will see the potential danger here.
But what would I care if gravel gets wet?

I’m not trying to tell you your job. The conversation expanded to other people’s needs for a van.
Great. I think we can leave this conversation alone now.
What would you replace your current truck with (ignoring second hand purchases)?
