the subject here is my needs for a truck

I'm not trying to tell you your job. The conversation expanded to other people's needs for a van.

For some trades a van is perfect.

Great. I think we can leave this conversation alone now.

Modern trucks are too big to actually be useful.

What would you replace your current truck with (ignoring second hand purchases)?

I don't like any of the new trucks. A 20-year-old small truck like a ranger or S series is a better choice.

I need someone to sell a 1-ton capacity truck with an 8-ft bed where the top of the bed is no more than 3 and 1/2 ft tall. The truck needs to exist but the understanding that it will be abused and so a lot of fancy features that will break won't be included. Stereo and HVAC should basically be the only internal features. They keep cramming more and more features into trucks to sell them for more and more money instead of building trucks that are built for actual work.
