Holy Crap! What is wrong with America? Cannot find a truck for ACTUAL WORK

Seriously. Try to find a used regular cab Tundra for sale. Just try. You see, the regular cab allows a full 8' bed, which is ideal for hauling things. Hauling things is what work trucks do. Trucks are for work, right? No, apparently not. They are for showing off, hauling a family of six with a 42" bed sitting there liek an afterthought that serves only one real purpose: making your big thing technically "a truck", and... generally looking like an ass because you have "truck" that cannot haul anything besides brats, a few bags of topsoil from the local Big-box and yes, groceries. Ok, forgive me, I am just upset that I cannot find a damn work truck. That is, a truck, that is built for work. Oh, wait, I am about to go into a loop. Seriously, what happened? When did having a vehicle whose origin is utility become something so perverted that it cannot even be used for it's original purpose? It's a rhetorical question, and I am probably both offending people here who have "shorties" and I simultaneously "don't get it", but in fact I think I am the one who DOES get it. Everyone else is just a peacock with a truck that costs more than a Supra? REALLY? By the way, trucks are not "for girls". They are for work. If you are a girl who needs a truck for work, then fine. But they are for work, dammit. Sigh. Anyone seen any good deals on a K40 Tundra? Regular cab, or better-stated, that rarest of breeds, the FULL-SIZED BED? You know, for hauling shit other than $50,000 boats and campers.. shit like, I dunno, sheets of freakin' plywood? Glory-Truck is such a "thing" that apparently T just didn't even make very many any actual WORK-format trucks. I just wasn't paying attention to the change. Last time I had a truck, it was a full size F150, a basic truck (and also a huge, stinky POS lemon from Hell). I do think the trend is dumb, which is my right, but that's just one crazy-ass (and currently annoyed) dude's opinion about a cultural trend so asinine that it affects the production of one of the worlds largest auto manufacturers, causing them to make giant oversized toys out of work vehicles that some people actually need for, yup, work. "Oh, you want a truck for work? Yeah, no, nobody makes those anymore." Anyway, if anyone has seen a work truck for sale in the loose vicinity of North Carolina, or can think of some other clever way to haul sheet goods around without buying a school bus, please chime in. Or, if you think that yes, maybe trucks really are having a huge identity crisis, pipe up too. Whatever.

I have no opinion on whether or not his information is good. It could be the best, for all I know. I just can’t get past the slickster used car salesman rapid fire, slurred words delivery. It just grates on me. I’m more of a Bob Ross or Mr. Rogers kind of guy, I guess. 🙂

When he suggested using brass fittings for brake lines and shows the package that says specifically not to use on brake fittings I could not justify ever giving him another view. His “advice” could cost lives. Not to mention the countless times he didn’t use basic safety like jack stands.
