I could ride a horse, but my truck gets me where I want to go much faster, and I can haul 12000lbs of trailer with it or put 2000lbs of stuff in the bed. Really doesn’t get more satisfying than that, short of having a personal helicopter.
Sold my stupid 95 f150 the moment I didn’t need it to do house repairs. It hauled almost nothing and the 5.0 turned fuel into noise and not much else. Our old 3/4 ton suburban isn’t much better, but it keeps my dogs in a conditioned space and hauls the same or more than you want. I only drive it when needed and it disgusts me how much smaller it is than a modern half ton. Fuck current vehicles and their useless size.
My personal vehicle gets the equivalent of 120mpg, is fueled at home while I sleep, and can get me to the train station in like 5 minutes. When I have to go places not on a train, it fits my family of four comfortably and carries everything I’ve tried to put in it. It also is very convenient for road trips to places not on Acela
