I want a small truck. But I’m definitely NOT feelin’ the love… |
|
Every now and then I want to take stuff to the dump or bring home some home & garden stuff (cans of paint, stones for a path, a sheet of plywood), but I’m frustrated because it either doesn’t fit in my car or it would mess the car up (fertilizer in your trunk on a hot day). Why do I have to buy (or rent) a MONSTER truck just to accomplish this? If a small (4 cylinder) truck is done right, it can also be light and (relatively) fuel-efficient, so I could even substitute it for my commuter car. I’d even trade a shorter bed (as long as it’s not too much shorter) for a small, side-ways jump-seat extended cab (but not a full back-seated cab). |

It seems to me, the manufacturers are really missing a market. I’m getting ready to retire in the next couple of years and after that I’ve probably got (maybe) five good years of puttering around the house ahead of me. You’ve got a window to reach a LOT of baby-boomers just like me. |

It’s not like you guys don’t make these trucks. You do. You just don’t sell them in America – or at least not here in California. |
|
Missed opportunity. Lost profit. Just saying… Or, maybe it’s just me… |
