@megabyteghost that use case is probably better served by something along the lines of a VW microbus, yeah

@zwol@masto.hackers.town agreed on peak truck. Any suggestions for who to look at for new kei style trucks here in the US?
@unsafelyhotboots @zwol unfortunately I don't think anyone is making anything like this in the US. I have heard of people importing them from Japan, but the laws on that vary from state to state.
-
@unsafelyhotboots I regret to say I know nothing about that.
@zwol @unsafelyhotboots maybe https://minitruckdepot.com ?
Or https://minitruckcanada.com north of the border.

@hugo @megabyteghost @unsafelyhotboots oof, didn't even notice that until you pointed it out.
(also apparently "all mini trucks advertised here are sold for off-road use only in the US and speed-limited as per federal law" which would explain why the one in my original photo is the first one I've actually seen in the wild; according to the license plate on the back (intentionally not photographed) that one is probably only road-legal under special "vintage car" rules...)

This is the ideal pickup truck. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

@unsafelyhotboots @zwol Unfortunately no one makes anything like that for the US, at least nothing that's road legal. You can import them from Japan, I recommend talking to @tikibunnyimports if that's something you'd like more info about.

I'd love one. How is it for passenger safety? It looks like the cab is the crumple zone.

@zwol Holy cow, to have that for Costco runs and the occasional helping kids move. Like 99% of suburban dwellers, a full-size pickup would be ridiculous for me. But this? Aw yeah.

@zwol hmm.
I think it needs some silver accents. Or maybe a unicorn airbrush painting. But even without, extremely nice! -
