I repeat this anecdote a lot so forgive me if you've heard it, but ...
... my Ukrainian-Canadian grandfather ran his dairy farm using a 1960s-era truck ...
... which was by today's standards *tiny*: Lower-slung, small cab
But!
It was *more usable* than today's monstrosities
It had a longer bed than today's trucks; being lower-slung made loading/unloading easier
Again: He ran a whole-ass farm with this vehicle; drove over rough terrain
Nobody *needs* today's bloated, paramilitary trucks
