While I agree on your premise your argument is a lie which doesn't strengthen your argument. The RAV4's payload is 1K-1200 lbs while the Tundra's is 1575 - 1940 lbs payload. That is actually pretty darn good for a 1/2 ton truck.
@@SuperSnakePlissken might have been a bit hyperbolic. But that's still terrible for a full-size pickup. Mid-size are more than 1,500 in most configs. F-150 and Silverado both have configs that go over 3,000 lbs. Also, the term ½ton hasn't had any relevance since the 80s, maybe even the 70s.
I'm still driving a 2000 Chevy Silverado with over 507k miles. I'm not willing to pay these ridiculous prices to get a newer truck. I don't need/want most of these new "features" truck makers think I need. I buy functionality not "beauty."
@dudeorduderorelduderino9087 honestly I dont know. My lease is up in April. I don't need a truck anymore but I definitely don't want a car so I'm gonna just look at some used Japanese suv's
Investment banking is killing the car and truck markets, Greed is value in the vehicle any more. There no hiring mechanical engineers to build cars there hiring banking engineer to completely destroy Auto companies. All that matters is profits for investors.
I asked for a loan in a bank.I would buy Audi A5 with 89,000km.Price was 27,000€ and that is too much but the problem was bank.They asked for 45,000€ to get paid back😂😂😂😂😂
Prices for american trucks are stupid because american trucks have become stupid. The 1990 F-150 was a reasonable sized truck with a reasonable price, the new F-150 is a stupid sized truck, so people get a stupid price. These trucks barely get any work like they used to, they are more like a luxury vehicle that moms use to carry their kids around. If people continue to pay those ridiculous prices then there is no point in complaining about it.
The only real trucks are the trucks they make for business, utility long beds All these other trucks are pickups Nobody even says pickup truck they is just pickups now
The truth they don't sell us the real trucks in USA when u go to foreign countries u realize what a real truck is like a Nissan patrol turbo Diesel or a Hilux Toyota turbo Diesel Toyota Prado etc
Toyota doesn't sell the Hilux in America because no one would buy one. The Tacoma is effectively a luxury Hilux. People who would save money buying a Hilux instead of a Tacoma would buy something used instead. No one sells small diesels in America anymore because they suck, especially when made to be compliant with our emissions laws. Our emissions laws are actually very good, they are effective at promoting clean air without hindering good gasoline engines.
The new Tundra isn't even a truck anymore. Less payload capacity than a Rav4.
Most trucks haven’t been trucks forever
Ever since the 8 foot beds started disappearing is when we lost trucks
@@Radbot776 Ram, GM and Ford still offer 8 foot beds.
@@cleverusernamecl5532 yea but if you go to a lot you’ll see mostly those 5.5 or 6 foot beds unless they somewhere out back or special order

My 2002 Silverado and I are VERY happy together.
Those old first and second generation V8 Vortecs are beasts.
2005 Chevy work van 2500
Just top off fluids and go
Im seeing used salesmen trying to sell 03s with 100k for 22k cause they hoping people dumb
My 2 favorite trucks were my 99 F150 and my 2008 Chevy. Both gave me 150,000 miles without a hiccup
Im 55 and have owned dozens of cars. I won't buy another American vehicle. Or a Tundra.
Or a Tacoma.
what would you consider getting? Just curious - thanks Man
@dudeorduderorelduderino9087 honestly I dont know. My lease is up in April. I don't need a truck anymore but I definitely don't want a car so I'm gonna just look at some used Japanese suv's
@@HankSnatchezget a Chevy express van
That’s more truck and car a than a Silverado
And it looks sick

Americans have no need for those little toYota and Nissans
If only they'd make a hybrid diesel.
