I think its more hating modern design choices in trucks, and hating on their use as a status symbol vs work vehicle

it's less the concept of a truck as used for work requiring a truck, are more a) the mutation of what a truck has become on the road and in culture and b) the people who aspire to become "the type of person who drives a truck"

I think trucks used for work are fine, and specialized trucks used for exceptional tasks or hauling cargo are cool, but would prefer building more effective infrastructure (e.g. freight rail, paths for bicycle cargo, cargo trams) where it makes sense

I think its a 1980-90s Jeep Comanche in one of it's many design variations but I can't find a perfect match.
But It also looks a lot like a Ford Ranger from the same time period

My dad had a Ford Ranger, he had a camper shell and carpeted interior in the bed which was excellent at the drive in. He also towed a sailboat around with it. Great little truck.

people don’t hate ‘trucks’ they hate the kind of people who buy trucks because they just want to be riding around in a giant fuckin tank of a vehicle instead of because they actually need a truck, which has led to the creation of a bunch of bastard ‘trucks’ good for nothing except being huge on the road

they’re just SUVs for bros instead of karens

I miss my cherry red 96 s-10 with the extended cab. I had it lowered. absolute pussy wagon.

I drove a 23 F150 and it was impossible park without taking up multiple spaces like a jack rear end. rode way too high. Almost ran over Shirley Muldowney.

not really fair to use a Japanese micro truck from the late 70's instead of an old Ford from the 40's

no way, definitely Japanese. either Isuzu or Mazda. the Comanche had that piece in the b pillar that gave it away

Add on top of the underpowered engine that every thing you add reduces your towing capacity and that fully loaded colorado can barely haul itself around nevermind any sort of towed load.
