Most pickups in the size range offer multiple engines, with the bigger engines filling the space.
My f150 does not have much room under the hood, and it’s got the v6 eco line motor.
See that's the problem with you truck people; a V6 is considered weak in your world.
Meanwhile the V6 in my Genesis Coupe is fast enough to get me to 60 MPH in under 6 seconds. And unlike a truck, it can actually take a corner at speed.
Unless you're a farmer, there's no reason to own a truck. I even bought one once to see what the hype was all about; got rid of it after less than a year cause I was sick and tired of getting 18 MPG and not even having fun while doing it. If I'm going to get poor fuel economy, I should at least be able to go fast.
EDIT: I mean I get the "more practical" argument, but let's be honest with ourselves here: How often do you REALLY use the truck bed? With the money you're saving in gas by driving something smaller and more economical, you could easily afford to rent a truck each and every time you need to move something. You're literally spending twice as much as you need to in gas, just for those occasions where you might need to use the bed. A U-Haul is less than $100/day (inc. gas + mileage); you're spending more than that every time you fill up, when you could be saving over $50 each time at the pump. It's simple math.
What? I never said it was weak. It has a better pulling ability than the v8. You’re just making up fake arguments.
Also, my boat with trailer was 8500 lbs. Nothing but a truck can pull it effectively and safely.
I agree some people by trucks just to say they have one, but a pickup can be incredibly useful if it fits your lifestyle.
I mean you kinda implied it by saying it's one of the smallest engines for the truck. Sorry for jumping to conclusions.
