Not saying you're correct or incorrect on is purpose for OP, but sometimes trucks like this are necessary.

[-] Mpatch@lemmy.world 13 points 4 hours ago

Yes, absolutely. Am skilled trades and do a lot of work on commercial marine vessels, bulk carriers, barges, drill platforms, and tugs. I won't go into further detail as it might get too exciting. It's lemmy they get upset over the slight though of pickup trucks.

Mirrors and cameras to.

Half of Lemmy gets upset at the thought of regular cars, let alone pickup trucks. They have a hard time understanding that some people need them.

The trades are important, congrats on the new truck. how does the center console storage compare you your last vehicle?

[-] Mpatch@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

The last one was 2011 ram 3500, it had a nice deep square hole in the center console, the cup holders were on the passenger side so I used the hole more for drinks. And it definitely couldn't hold as much stuff. But on the plus side, it was just the right size and place for holding a bag of road snacks. A bag of cherries, grapes, chips, popcorn, Picards penuts, etc. On this new one, I have to reach forward a bit to grab a snack.

No it's not really necessary. For many trades a van or a small box truck is more practical. It's what most of the world outside of North America uses.

Pickup trucks popularity as a status or recreational vehicle has heavily influenced the modern design. It's made the newer models harder to use for work without significant modification.

I have driven pickup trucks for work for 20 years now. It's gotten so that I dread having to purchase a new one. It seems like every new model has more "features" to break.

My rule to tradies in pickups is "if it's dirty, it's deserved." Friend of my dad's a landscaper and the mud is usually hip-height at least.

Sure, about 5% of the time, they’re totally necessary. Other 95… ornamental.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
