And why do so many cucks hate trucks anyway?

What truck do you like?

>>538943005
Pickup trucks are great. Seat five adult men (for gay activities), tow a trailer (for doing gay activities in), load the bed full of gay activity equipment, blind car cucks with our light bars. The use-cases are unlimited. Pickups are the ultimate do-it-all vehicle. Only a commie cuck would seethe at the concept of pickup truck ownership.

I like the older square bodies better, but otherwise I'm with you on almost everything.
Being vintage and registred cargo such a truck wouldn't cost me that much to have.
That thirst of theirs however, but I could deal with that, I'd have a daily ride anyway.
It'd have to replace my Toyota Highlux for towing though.
And something went awry in the document translations when the pre-mid nineties was imported here, so the American trucks official tow capacity is set ridiculously low - and it's almost impossible to get changed.

Gay pickup owner here. Can confirm, you can do lots of gay activities in a truck. You put some of these Ontario twinks on the bed in back and they’ll take a bigger load than the truck is rated for.

That's the only reason why any retard in america would even buy a pickup. It's just an expensive fashion statement. Nobody hauls shit with an $80k truck. They aren't contractors, they aren't roofers or electricians. They're just simpleminded retards that get off on the rugged blue collar aesthetic.

Any truck of that age that’s in a condition like that is worth an incredible amount these days
The used car and truck market of the old days is gone. Few can afford the 100k new rigs, and they’re often unreliable or have other undesirable features anyway. So, everyone is trying to just get by with whatever old rigs are still hanging around.
The only real way to get a truck like that these days is to find an old one with major issues that’s sitting on someone’s property. If you have your own space, tools and know how, you can fix it up to get in running.
Most don’t have the space, the tools, know how, or funds to invest in a project like that.

Everything is upside down. Trucks used to be cheap and utilitarian. Somewhere along the line they became status symbols as testosterone levels in the male population started dropping. They are compensators, guys use them to supplement their masculinity. It's a sad state of affairs.

I had one of those. the front to rear brake lines failed because I live in the midwest and for their critical pressure bearing lines, GM opted for steel rather than something a little more corrosion resistant. If you're willing to do your homework and stay on top of them, american trucks are pretty cool, but if you want something that isn't going to fuck with you and your wallet look elsewhere.

>>538948690
Steel brake lines are fine but they need to be sleeved to last the life of the car. There should be class action lawsuits for selling vehicles with unsleeved steel brake lines. Don't fuck around with brake lines, if you see anything beyond surface rust (flaking) cut it out and use a flare tool to put new in.

I'll never understand trucks.
Sure, I get why some trades will have them. Obviously a bricklayer will have a truck so that he can carry a concrete mixer and a few other large/messy tools. I see that in the same way as how electricians always have vans, because they have a lot of small tools that need to be organised and protected.

But why do people keep buying them for use as personal vehicles? Especially since most of the ones I see have canopies or giant fixed toolboxes on the back. I feel like a van or minivan is just objectively better.

For example, I recently had to carry some 3m lengths of PVC flashing. They just slotted straight into my Carnival even with two baby seats installed, no problem. But with a truck, even an enormous one like a F-250, I would have no real way of carrying them at all. If I put them in the bed, they would be sticking up in the air and would bend from the wind. So I would need to rig up a system with roof bars and ratchet straps. Obviously that's just one example, but I really don't see what the advantage is for a truck which is less comfortable to drive, less flexible in its internal arrangement, and more expensive to buy and run.

women started the trend and that's also who truck manufacturers cater to now. it's why there's so much garbage in them, most truck owners don't even use a truck they just buy it "to feel safe" or because the whole family is morbidly obese.

That's the thing, they're so much less comfortable. My Carnival is about the same size as a Ranger/Hilux, and they have WAY less interior space than my car. Plus they have swing doors, so they're harder to get in and out of. Sure, you could argue that something bigger like an F-150 or F-250 will be comparable, but then it's also just much bigger overall. If they made a minivan with those dimensions, the cabin would feel like a cruise ship.

I own 3/4 tons and 1 tons but 1/2 tons still have their place. I used to pull 15k with one all the time, fucked the transmission though, although it was an 8L90 and would have fucked itself up anyways because modern GM is dogshit.

All the fats around here drive them from hat I see, especially when the entire family is fat, my neighbor is this family to the letter. Rest is just women. People actually using the truck for hauling generally use way older models and they usually repair them at home. These new trucks are consumer ware tier and just for luxury
>>
>>538953458
It makes things easier. I recently floored my attic, and I could put the lumber in the bed, no trailer necessary. Moving furniture? Not a problem. Want to throw kayaks in the back? Not a problem. Want to haul something? Not a problem. If you don’t do a lot, there’s no sense in having one, but I use my bed all the time.
>>
>>538954404
Yeah but that's my point. Trucks are very specialised vehicles for specific people. Most people treat them as the default family car, which they're just not good at.
>>
>>538954598
They fit 5-6 comfortably, 4x4 for inclement weather, stout engines/driveline, and hold value. They are a pretty good all rounder. Only thing you could bitch about is fuel milage, but teens to high 20s isn’t bad
>>
>>538951885
Yeah it’s been really good. You won’t believe but I got it with 10,000 miles on it. 50,000 on it now. Some old man let it sit in his garage for 15 years but still kept up with it. suspension needed work though

I feel ya, I get my lady small German SUVs for our run around town cars, she is in a Audi Q3 (not a big fan of audi to be honest with you though). I try to park my trucks as much as I can.
Modern 1/2 tons aren't that bad though, they have a super short wheel base and actually get in the 20s for MPGs
My old 2005 BMW X3 gets 18.5 mpg on a good day, engines are far more efficient than they used to be.
>>
>>538954570
But my Carnival can carry full-size sheets of plywood, and I can fit a bicycle in the back. I've never used a kayak but I would imagine they would go on the roof regardless.
I'm not sure about America, but with our big hardware monopoly Bunnings, you can rent a trailer for barely anything. I just checked and a 4 hr rental of a 6x4 trailer costs $28, or $40 for an 8x5 tandem.

Its because our roads are annoyingly narrow, which is due to most places having been inhabited for thousands of years, so unless they demolished old properties it is not possible to have big roads.

Driving our regular cars on small narrow roads is annoying enough, especially when you have cars parked on one or both sides, which is frequent due to overpopulation.

Big cars make already frustrating drives a lot worse. You also make it worse for everyone else who now has to stop or slow down to either let you pass or to pass you.

There's nothing actually wrong with the vehicles themselves. The problem is that our crappy narrow over-crowded roads cannot cope with them.

The big "18 wheelers" mostly stay on motor ways and deliver their goods to out-of-town depots, so rarely cause the problems that large domestic cars do.

I mean, the lumber I was picking up was 12 ft, and I could haul with it straps. Personally I’d have a hard time getting it into an SUV. Also, I don’t know how you deal with stuff like mulch or moving rock. When I landscape my yard, my truck bed is great. That said, I get your point: if you don’t actually move stuff around, there’s no reason to have it. I agree with that. A lot of people have trucks that really do not need them. I just use mine enough that it would be a bitch to buy a topper for kayaks/buy a trailer for whenever I want to do any work, so it’s honestly just more convenient.

The brake rotor gets stuck, transmission is leaking, and more recently a fuel pump type issue (could be carb or other related things -- starts with starting fluid but then dies immediately)

From the pan? (New gasket should solve this.)
Or somewhere else?

>and more recently a fuel pump type issue (could be carb or other related things -- starts with starting fluid but then dies immediately)
Have you changed the fuel filter?
How old is the fuel?

Is it carbureted? How old is it? If it is fuel injected it could be the temp sensor inside the mass airflow sensor, or fuel pressure regulator. (Or the pump, obviously. Among other things.)

Yes, on transmission. Tried that revitalizer fluid to no avail
On fuel, some of it would be pretty old. It wasn't a primary vehicle, so it has mostly sat for years (would start it and let it run for awhile every couple months, adding a little gas here and there, from containers that had themselves sat a bit)

Boomers keep buying suv crossovers and massive trucks full of electronics even though they bitch about the electronics. They are consumers with uncontrollable FOMO and 0 standards. As a result they dominate the vehicle market so it caters exclusively to them. Millennial consumers did the same thing with video games. They bought hot garbage and nostalgiabait nonstop for a decade, now they wonder why games are $70+ and full of raw jew propaganda.

I don't even know what that is. (Are you saying you put stop leak in your transmission???) Don't do that. That is a very bad idea.

You shouldn't put anything in an automatic transmission except the right kind of transmission fluid for that transmission. (If the transmission is manual, you can flush it with diesel*. Then refill with new, proper gear oil.)

*I flush crank cases with diesel when I change oil. Works like a champ to get the crud out of there. (Do not run the engine with diesel in the crankcase!) (Drain the old oil, rinse with diesel oil, drain, and fill with new oil before you start the engine.) (Don't rinse with gasoline. Gasoline is a solvent. Diesel is an oil.)

If you're not sure about the old fuel, you can disconnect the fuel line from the carburetor (or the fuel rail if it is fuel injected), stick it in a big bucket or gas can, and then put a jumper wire on the fuel pump relay pins. This will let you know if the fuel pump is working well, if your fuel line has an obstruction, and if your fuel filter is clogged.

>I don't even know what that is. (Are you saying you put stop leak in your transmission???) Don't do that. That is a very bad idea.
It wasn't the kind that gunks up until it forms a big enough solid to stop it. It was just supposed to "rehydrate" the O-rings/gaskets. In any case, it just leaked out.

Agreed, it's a (probably) comming model though, not yet in mass production.

I have to say if people are just driving on roads why would anyone seek out a pickup when a van would be far superior? Of course people owning vans as amin vehicles would get the pedo label as people would think why they would need a van over a regular car seeing as people carriers (ironic) and estates and larger hatchbacks are availble.
>>
>>538944844

Absolutely. Collapsed or clogged brake line. Clogged piston on the caliper. Etc. This is why it is good to flush the brake lines every year or so and replace the brake fluid.
