Unlisted benefit of the one on the left is you can fit more people in it.
Unlisted benefits of the one on the right are
Yeah, if I got the truck on the right, I'd also need an SUV for the kids and the dog. What's the delta on having two cars vs having one that can be used for work and family?
The one on the left starts at $40k. The one on the right is $8k
yeah, but you also have to factor in the other costs of ownership - insurance, registration, maintenance, parking, etc if you would need a second family vehicle in addition to the little pickup, as opposed to one big pickup for the job and family. There is a valid use case for both. Most of the folks you see in the one on the left aren't using it for a valid use case, but there are some that do. I'm not one of em, I drive a sedan, just sayin I get it.
8k new ?
