8ft bed can be optioned on basically every truck. People buying trucks just prefer the crew cab because the vast majority of them are never hauling shit
You know you can order vehicles from the manufacturer ahead of when you need it, right? Yes, there are stupid laws/rules in place that require a dealership to be part of the process, but you can generally pick what you want in a vehicle.
It’s partially the manufacturers’ fault. Good luck finding an 8’ bed without an extended cab.
That’s their only option if they’re limited to the footprint of a smaller truck in their parking spot.
I’m dying for a return to 80s style trucks but with hybrid/electric engines
Please just let me have a functional, strong truck that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to drive
and won’t require bags of sand, gravel, or litter in the bed every winter
I’m naïve. What does this do?
It adds weight over the drive wheels, since pick ups are notably lighter in the back without a cap.
When you’re stuck in snow or ice you can also dump a little in front of your rear wheels to get some extra traction.
Did you catch that glorious but brief period when Ford and GM were building retro EV’s?
Oh shit I did not
Damn, do want…
