Are we on the verge of stretch limousine trucks which are just SUV stretch limos but with a pathetic-looking, tiny-ass vestigial bed at the rear?

I have been so disappointed that the razor blade curve has turned out to not be true.

This has to be a crew hauling gooseneck ready truck, for some sort of industrial crew work…

OP did it have a gooseneck hitch?

Not my picture, but no this something you see around my parts. Its normally sold to Hutterite colonies (they used to use vans) and the back generally just holds goods they buy or sell.

Christ, and here all I want is a small cargo van and Ford decides to discontinue selling the Transit Connect here, while in Europe they are starting to sell an electric version of the same thing.

Right!?!?! Check out the Hilux Champ they are selling in Thailand. I would kill for an electric version of that for daily driving in the city and whatever DIY/hardware store needs I may have. I don’t need to hall heavy things just awkward and large things.
