      You can tow a car with a small(er) Tacoma easily. For a motorcycle it will fit in the back, and probably has more room than your Ram.

      I’m also skeptical that you truly tow them around 50 times a year.

      If you do, then congrats you may have one of the rare actual use cases for a truck. Hopefully you don’t also use it for errands.

      The reason these have no practical purpose is because all the things it does are done better with a lower bed. Having the bed so fucking high up makes it significantly harder to load and unload. If you’re actually carrying cargo that’s burdensome, you want a low bed, not one of these monstrosities.

      Sure, they can do things, but the alternatives that are nearly gone from the market, and these replaced, did the work that a truck is “supposed” to do better. There isn’t a purpose behind making it bigger besides aesthetics to appeal to some people who need to feel bigger for whatever reason.
