Ford F150-I'm Done.

I'm not pissing on anyone, just saying I like the Tundra better than any previous vehicle.

Yeah, me neither, but owners are easily offended.

Glad you were able to get that out of the way as this has been quite a discussion of truck bed use LOL.

Have you figured out that there are people who have different needs that you do who might use a topper of some sort to accomplish tasks? I sure hope so as you seem to struggle with the concept that some people have different needs than you do and a topper might be the solution that works best for them.

Not sure what I said that would imply I struggle with any owner's decisions and/or uses. I simply said, as others have said here, that there are a large majority of truck owners now that don't use them as "trucks".

As someone pointed out earlier, sure makes it easy to find clean used trucks cheap.

You are welcome. Glad I could help you.

Not to derail this, but the "cheap lightly used truck" concept isn't working here. Used truck prices seem to me sky high. Lots of good ones on the market but lots of buyers also, I guess.

The only thing you did here was make a fool of yourself. Keep up the fine work.

Not sure why the personal name calling. But again, you are welcome.

Yep, Oversize has this all figured out. LAffin.

Essentially he was here to stroke his ego by claiming that few people used their truck they he does. Then it progressed into claiming that people with toppers do not use their trucks. Now these trucks with toppers are "clean and easy to find cheap trucks" when in reality they are extremely valuable because they have not been used and abused.

Pretty much everything he claims has been wrong so far but at this point just let him run with it. I think it makes him feel better about himself to brag about his truck bed being used. It's mildly entertaining even with his obvious desire to turn this into an argument.

Just stating the obvious. You are welcome.

The used trucks on the market don't appear cheap at first glance. Then when you compare the asking price to that of a new truck they become very cheap.

Good friend of mine has a friend selling a 2001 Ford F250 Power Stroke Lariatt 4dr long bed 4wd truck. Straight as a pin. Never been on a gravel road. Never pulled a trailer. Shedded it's whole life. 26,000 miles. Can be bought for $20,000. Is that cheap?

At a glance it doesn't appear so. After all, it's 16 years old. But when looked at closer, considering a new one similarly equipped would cost $50,000, it begins to look very cheap indeed.

In the light truck market there are many, many trucks for sale under similar circumstances. And as you mentioned, there are many, many buyers. Those buyers aren't willing to accept the depreciation rate they will experience when buying new.
