If Ford made regular cab 6’ bed maverick with a manual I’d be all over it. Nobody makes a truly small pickup with a 6’ bed anymore. In the US at least. I miss my Comanche.

Have you never had to street park a vehicle or are you a complete moron?

2023 Dodge ram 3500 shortest length is 232", longest is 260.8". 2023 VW golf is 168.9".

That’s over 5 feet longer at minimum and over 7.5 feet longer at worst. That’s a huge amount of wasted space.

They’re wider meaning they cramp the roads horizontally as well (while driving or parked).

There’s no logical defense of these compensation-mobiles other than “I like them” and that’s fine, you’re allowed to like them. Leave it at that. They’re objectively terrible for the safety of everyone around them and are a complete waste of space.

I drove a Jeep Comanche for years and that’s as big a pickup as 99% of pickup owners would ever actually need.
