Meh, fair enough. I drive a Leaf, but have an old F250 that I use at least a couple times a month. I’m either hauling firewood, mulch, compost, rock, lumber, flooring, siding, appliances, large tools, junk, etc (I live in an old house that needs a lot of work, heat solely with wood, and make furniture and garden as a hobby). Not sure I would want to tow much with my little Leaf. I guess could rent a pickup a couple times a month, but that would be pretty inconvenient.
Good point, owning it as a side vehicle like an old tractor makes more sense.
My gripe with pickup trucks is more when they appear in traffic, in parking lots sticking out at every corner, in too narrow streets, around children who they can’t see cause they have their eyes 5 yards in the sky and a bonnet obstructing everything apart from the horizon, having a fuel economy and co2 emittance of a lorry without the contribution to our essential goods infrastructure.

Thanks Obama and the EPA. Bring back baby pickups!
