    You lose just about anyone willing to listen to you (outside this echo chamber) when you go off the rails about how they have no use and none needs them.

      Why would you need that specific truck? It looks like it is gigantic for the sake of being gigantic.

        Larger boats, RVs, helpful if not strictly required for plowing. A 3500 is definitely on the side of specialized though. These are far rarer than a half ton (1500 in dodge branding).

          People towed boats with “normal” sized trucks before these were a thing. There is no need for them to be this large.

      BS you genuinely do not need it. Go look at what long time contractors are driving, it’s mostly smaller toyota trucks or vans.

      You need a huge truck to haul some huge shit for the day? Rent it, duh

      Eh, you need them for work and someone who lives out in the countryside probably could make regular use of them.

      The blame rests on the automakers though, pickup trucks used to have the same cargo capacity but were smaller. This lack of visibility is 100% an aesthetic choice. Look at the sprinter truck as an example, it can pull and has great visibility.
