Something about a non tradesperson owning a pickup truck and just letting the bed fill with random debris makes me angry. I’m a tradesman and I have a truck because I need one and I use it to do work but the other day I saw a graphic of how the cab and bed relationship of pickup trucks has changed over the last 60 years and it’s upsetting. Most trucks now only have like a 3 or 4 foot long bed and the rest is cab for passengers.

Wow. Thats crazy.

I wonder why a car company would alter the design of their vehicle. Could it be that there are more Non-trades people buying these trucks and they changed the design to match the majority of the market?

Perhaps you should stop worrying about what other people do with their truck beds.

Right. That's the whole issue. There are fewer actually useful trucks on the market because the industry has turned trucks into minivans, to cater to suburbanites who want to feel "rugged" when they squeeze their oversized toys through the Starbucks drive-thru.

Hey if you wanna buy something you don’t need by all means go for it. But tell me to keep my thoughts to myself ? Lol ok keep dreaming buddy. Maybe buy a rake to get all those sticks and leaves out of your truck bed and people on both sides won’t silently judge you everywhere you go.
