If they would go back to the useful pickups, instead of the “show off” pickups, people would buy them.
I’m six feet tall, and I can’t reach over the side of a pickup. To get a tractor or rototiller in and out of a modern pickup, you need ten feet of ramp.
They changed the design so that they all look jacked up, but they aren’t.
First company that comes out with a good old fashoned pickup with a low eight foot bed wins my money.
Well you can get them, like mine, with the under-carriage built several inches higher. This is of course for better clearance particularly for snow. But you are right the vast majority of pickups are jacked up for show only leaving the differential(s) about 6 inches off the ground. That leaves them pretty much useless for anything but freeway or city driving. You get a one foot snowfall (very common in my neck of the woods) and those things are going nowhere.
