Does it deserve its ranking ?
Feel free to discuss below about this video, why it should be recommended or not, why it is good or not, easy to understand or not, reliable or not.
Does it worth to be the 6th most recommended video aired in the last 12 months ? Should it be ranked higher ?
What would you recommend better ? What should we compare to this video to, in order to improve its scoring ?
So I watched the full video a while back and it makes a lot of sense. For some applications, especially in a hauling workload and for people working construction or in other fields that require the use of a truck it makes sense.
On the other hand, for any other applications, they donāt fiscally provide a need other than the cool factor. Thereās a reason why station wagons arenāt popular or sold here as much.
I agree with the video and hope we can move towards a society that relies less on the need for large vehicles that tend to be more fatal death machines.
I live where it seems more than half the vehicles on the road are pickup trucks. Agriculture is the primary industry around here, but many who are driving trucks definitely donāt need them.
There are so many excuses itās almost entertaining to ask people why they chose a more expensive, less efficient vehicle when they use the ātruckā function less than once per year.
āBut snowā¦ā, my outback does just fine. āBut yard waste (and/or any material one would only very occasionally haul in the box)ā¦ā, ever heard of a utility trailer? And the worst one, ābut itās saferā¦ā right, itās easier to roll, heavier so takes longer to stop, light in the rear so easier to lose control, and more blind spots.
I feel this is an unintended consequence of fuel efficiency regulations, and you can see it in the vehicles offered by manufacturers. Trucks were deemed ācommercial vehiclesā so had less strict efficiency requirements than cars, therefore manufacturers found it easier to just sell larger vehicles than to try to meet the difficult efficiency standards for small cars.
