IMHO there are no real pick-up trucks anymore Too much crap which will get broken when bumped into (or when you bump into something else), the interior isn't made for easy cleaning when 4 mud-laden hard-hat types ride home at the end of a workday, and when they say "half ton" it now means just that whereas it used to be more of a suggested load limit. But that kind of thing is what most buyers want now so that's what they make and sell
A real truck can push-start your broken down buddy ahead of you without needing a body shop afterward. It can have the bed filled to spilling with gravel and drive like that for hours at highway speeds. It can be driven across a broken field so fast that it's airborne half of the time without anything bending, breaking, or rattling apart. It can take the abuse of a low-IQ angry employee venting his frustrations onj it while driving it without dying. It can have snowplows and trailers tacked on of insane sizes with no problems. It has durability placed well above fuel mileage in it's list of features. It may not be the most comfortable thing to drive but it can actually do a hard days work instead of just looking stylish
Sorry folks, but nobody makes real pick-up trucks anymore and Tesla isn't going to either
