One of these pulled up at my workplace today and I can not get over how stupid they look and that got me thinking, who thought making a shittier version of an Odyssey was a good idea.

This thing can’t be useful as a truck, can’t seat as many as a van, costs $50k and burns more gas then an Odyssey (10l/100km hwy vs 8l/100km hwy). Does anyone who drives these things think they are hot shit?

    Those ford F-teen-thousands also have the odd super short bed. I guess I just wish for the olden tiny trucks like the VW one based on the rabbit.

      Look up “chicken tax.” This is the real reason you can’t buy a small import truck.

      Ford used to (and probably still does) ship small Transits to the states fitted to carry passengers and then rip out the seats to sell as work vans.
