I would kill for one of these trucks, its so fucking stupid that they are banned
I would even be happy with a small pickup like the old Datsuns or Mazdas. Instead my choices are Big-ass Toyota Truck or Ford Monster Truck or Dodge Monster Truck.
I have two Ford Rangers which are the US-branded Mazda B2000s. I am SO paranoid about anything going wrong with them because in my market I am FUCKED. I cannot work out of the trucks made after 2012.
Curious, why do you need a small truck?
When I first moved to Los Angeles I was amazed at all the small trucks still being used. NY road salt destroys them so I hadn't seen any in years. The small Toyotas and Rangers are loved by gardeners and the prices they command show it.
I do carpentry, building, handyman stuff. LOTS of tools and blades and bits and all kinds of shit. I have a canopy on the bed . I made a sliding drawer and I need to pull it out and have all my tools at waist level. I'm watching these clowns having to constantly climb up into their truck beds and dig through packout boxes and it is silly. Also, I can fit into a parking space and not block the Lowes drive-through lumberyard
