    N-word? I’ve never posted that. And why are you posting irrelevant shit?

    Modern pickups have grown in leaps and bounds as far as capacity. My F-150 has a carrying capacity of 1800 lb in the bed and an old F-150 would get snapped in half. It’s also a hybrid and I regularly get over 25 mpg versus pickup trucks with v8s or V6 is getting 16 or 18.

      Wow. Look, don’t wanna rain on anyone’s parade because I love hybrids, but I would still not buy a truck with one if that’s all the improvement it provided. You know how expensive those batteries are to replace?

        It’s a 1.4kwh battery so it’s not all that big.

      So… It can carry 10 people? Isn’t that only marginally more than a minivan? What the fuck were they making the old F-150s with that they were worse than a minivan?

        It’s literally in the terminology. Half ton pick up truck half ton load capacity. They just keep making the metal better. the frame stronger. Additionally I am able to tow over ten thousand pounds. You can’t do that with a minivan. You also can’t fit most motorcycles inside of a minivan. And most lawn and garden tasks tend to be pretty dirty. And i’d rather not clean out the carpets.
