Comparison left vs right for a craftsman who doesnt know which one he should buy:

  • l/r same bed size

  • r lower bed for way easier loading/unloading

  • r less likely to crash

  • r less fuel consumption and costs

  • r less expensive to repair

  • r easy to park

  • r easy to get around in narrow places like crowded construction sites or towns

  • r not participating in road arms race

  • l You get taken serious by your fellow carbrained americans because ""trucks"" are normalized and small handy cars are ridiculed.

So unless you are a fragile piece of human, choose the right one.

this thing looks terrible to actually work with, hauling trailers or trucks, heavy loads in bed as well as off road? doubt

Hard agree. The k trucks are great for any home hobbyist or light duty tradesmen like an electrician. For Carpenters, construction workers, plumbers, or anyone else who actually hauls heavy shit around all day and needs to use a large variety of tools, these just aren't going to cut it.

Seems pretty usable overall, great for midsize loads and the overwhelming majority of personal projects. Given the ubiquity of untouched ultra-capacity vanity trucks, this is an actual reasonable daily driver.
