The bed on the left probably gets used more.

But the one on the left wouldn't pass US fuel economy standards, which are based on vehicle footprint since 2012.

That's the reason the Ranger etc were discontinued for a while, and when they returned were bigger than the old F-150s.

It's so the reason the small cargo vans (Nissan NV200, Ford Transit Connect, and Ram Promaster City) were all discontinued in the last 2 years. CAFE standards increase over time, and it's easier to just make bigger cars.

The pp size is inversely proportional to the truck size.

that's why I ride a bike.

I could get away with a unicycle if it weren't for my MASSIVE SCHLONG requiring support and it's easier that way than getting two unis.

I suppose you are using a lady bike then so there's more space for the schlong?

No I have a sheat for the schlong on the horizontal bar of the frame

If I had to buy a pickup truck I'd buy a Suzuki Carry and call it a day

Kei trucks feel like they'd be a perfect alternative to a gator. They appear to be cheaper too even considering importation.

Functional design is the only proper design.
