You live out in the country, you clearly didn’t grow up in the country.
I grew up in the country, we had a truck with a full sized bed and a bench. You put the baby seat in the middle of the bench, strap it down like you do in the car and a lap belt and you pick up your chicken feed with your kid in the truck. Ain’t rocket science here.
Shit dude, if you’re worried about scratches to your vehicle, maybe you should move back to the suburbs.
WTF do you expect when you post anonymously about “needing” a gigantic truck with a extended cab and a tiny worthless truck bed because you have a kid in a car seat and don’t have the sense to know that if you actually grew up in the country, you’d damn well know you can strap in a car set in on a truck bench.
And here’s another judgement, it’s a pretty piss poor excuse for trying to justify “needing” once again a huge, wasteful, dumb short bed truck because you have a car seat and have a want to haul a few bags of trash. Ever heard of double bagging? Or a trailer? Or if you did grow up in the country, a burn barrel?
You’re right that I don’t know everything about you, I only know what you share on a anonymous social media board, and what I have read so far, you sure do sound like one of those suburban transplants wasting good farmland.

I never said “need” once.
Ever heard of double bagging?
Cause THAT’S environmentally friendly.
Or a trailer?
A bunch of assumptions there.
a burn barrel?
LMAO, that’d be a helluva fast way to get fined around here. I’m in the “country”, but it’s not in the middle of nowhere. It’s a neighborhood built just a bit out from a small town of 5000 people. It’s “country”, but kind of isn’t at the same time. I have to register with the county each time I want to have a fire in the fire pit. And burning garbage is a fast way to get in crap. And not to mention monumentally stupid.
I mostly agree with the fact that most people who have pickup trucks don’t actually need them.
That being said, the only thing sad in this comment section is how much energy you are wasting to gatekeep this one person’s ‘countryness’, just because they posted a random comment.
This still doesn’t matter make sense. Lots of people have multiple kids and/or a spouse. Manufacturing more vehicles just to please your ego is not the economical or environmentally friendly thing to do.
This doesn’t make any sense. You live out in the country, you’re probably going to need a truck. You aren’t going to haul horse shit, lime, a crap ton of chicken feed, or water for your cistern in a car or even a SUV. But you should be buying a vehicle that actually fits the work being done and if it’s a small truck then buy a small truck and not giant penis extender with no ability to haul a damn thing.
Could be. I’m not in the camp of all cars are bad.
The whole discussion about the, in my opinion, worthless truck in the picture and when you state you have a car seat without clarification about a ute or a compact truck, then it’s assumed you’re talking about the need for one of those dumb things that all suburbanites seem to want and buy.
And I’m not saying that just blanket small truck ownership is okay either, I’m of the opinion you should buy the car that fits what you need and wish we had a society and cities that could get me to not even driving day to day. So to me even a guy that lives in a small town only to drives to and from work only and never hauls a thing still doesn’t need a small truck that gets crappy gas mileage.

But I don’t have a truck.
I said “mess up the interior” with “leaky garage bags”. But yes, the inside is scuffed also.
Thanks for gatekeeping where I live, you clearly know everything about me.

Pretty sad that you feel you have to put so much effort and so many words to justify why you shouldn’t be a suburbanite like you should be.
I mostly agree with the fact that most people who have pickup trucks don’t actually need them.

I think they are just frustrated the poster didnt reply to any of their counterpoints.

Ok, so is this whole discussion a misunderstanding?
I’m saying “there are valid uses for a truck” and (from what I thought) everyone else is saying “all trucks are bad, you don’t need a truck”.
But now you’re saying that the discussion is explicitly the exact truck that’s in the photo and small trucks are ok? Is that what you’re saying?
