... I view them as a far more useful version of a midsize car, decent mileage, easy to maneuver in parking lots, and far more versatile than a Camry.
That's my consideration. Commute to work/wherever. Bed is big enough to hold a couple of bales of hay to put out in the morning as I'm leaving, take garbage out, haul dead venison, occasionally pull a 5x8 atv trailer, etc. It's not a replacement for my "real" truck but would replace my daily commuter and save me gas doing light things I use a truck for now.
It’s not a truck, it’s a trucklet. I ordered one because I now drive 35 to 40K miles a year. I’m not doing that in an $80K 3/4 ton getting 14 mpg. This trucklet gets high 20’s in fuel economy, is under $30K with some options, and still carries 30 feed bags, the garbage or a limit of sharp tails and two dogs just fine. If I need a truck, I have a $200K Kenworth. That’ll pull a 50K lb trailer “all day long”, uphill, through the snow, with a 1,600 mile range.
