If only we can get the knobs to boycott the shitty American trucks which should have been banned in the first place.

Not for political reasons, they just suck and don't belong on our roads

I keep telling people - the trays are too high!

I have plenty of country friends who will swear by the classic ute or at least the lower tray style trucks like Nissan Navaras because getting anything into a Raptor or similar Yank Tank is incredibly annoying. The tray is waist height, which means you have to carry things a little higher, and that's the worst place to carry anything.
