In the US, the top 3 selling cars are trucks. The Ford F150, Chevrolet Silverado and the RAM Pickup. We are starting to see a few Cybertrucks on the road as well. IMHO, the ugliest car on the planet.
If you were to choose, what would you go for?
I would go for the F150 EV. Pretty nice. I clearly have a bias for electric vehicles of any size.
#Ford #Chevrolet #RAM #Truck #Tesla #CyberTruck
None of the above, but offer me a ute around the size and capability of a Subaru Brumby (Brat in the US), and I’m in.
@[email protected] if ever I got a genie that could grant me 3 wishes, I would wish for the market to shift towards more sedans and coupes and then set the genie free.
@[email protected] if I had to get a pickup I would get one of those tiny suzukis. If I just had to carry stuff I would get a van.
@jon If I had to pick a truck, #rivian R1T is probably what I would choose.
Edit: super unpopular opinion here, I know, but I would never call the #tesla #cybertruck “ugly”.

@[email protected] I think trucks in the US are too large and shouldn’t exist. While not electric I’m looking into getting a Ford Maverick Hybrid. It is a sensible size and not a roving murder box.
We could learn a thing or two from the Japanese and the trucks they use.
@[email protected] I live in Italy and I bought a new car some months ago. The dealer was full of SUVs and a couple of trucks. The worker I spoke with was in disbelief when I asked for a sedan. Nowadays the roads are full of SUVs and some trucks which are incredibly expensive and fuel-consuming even in southern Europe where we have old cities with narrow roads (and sometimes tourists and locals get trapped between historical buildings).
@[email protected] As you know, here in Norway, trucks are solely used by construction workers or the random farmer.
What do they have in common? Something that looks like a hate for cyclist and the wish to kill us.
Everytime I’m on my bike and see a pickup truck I have to be extra careful, they will ignore traffic rules and try to run you off the road.
I’ve never understood why someone would want a truck as their everyday vehicle. Personally I have the Volvo EX30, and it’s amazing!
Tesla truck, it’s so eyecatchingly ugly it’d reduce accidents. Everybody would notice me.
But for now I just want to be able to attach a small trolley or something to my #escooter, it’s just the nicest transport for us city dwellers.
@[email protected] if we had good transit I’d sell my truck. But since there are just enough trips I make that my bike won’t do to make renting worth it I keep it. 90% of those trips I prefer a small sedan but renting a truck for truck things is difficult (rental trucks mostly cone with contracts to not do things a truck is needed fo, - I found an exception but well outside of bike range)

If I needed one, I would pick a Hilux. But I much prefer 2 wheels, so I probably won’t ever get one.Though I’m still trying to figure out how to move a kayak on two wheels. Kayak bicycle trailers aren’t legal here in Denmark (max legal length of bicycle+trailer is 3.5m, most kayaks are longer than that without the bicycle). So if I ever get a truck, that would be the reason.
@[email protected] I do hate trucks, but I will have to admit that some people do need trucks and I do respect them for the jobs they do with them. It’s just that everybody that has a truck and does it use the truck to its fullest capacity is that I have issue with, not everyone needs a massive truck.
@[email protected] I love the design of the #CyberTruck. Taste is not an opinion.
