My MIL has one, she likes everything about it other than the driver's seat. She says she can't spend more than an hour in the car at a time.

I have a Hyundai Ioniq HEV and its a great car for long distance travel. Starts at $22k, but the $24k SEL with radar guided cruise and lane keep is the ideal highway miles machine. I usually end up around 60MPG on each tank - which take me more than 600 miles between fill ups. 

Sounds like you need an autonomous car. Just browse jalopnik the whole drive. 

I take ‘executive’ as person in suit and it looks like it’s pretty close to noise from the avaerga adult baseline.

Ironic, maybe? 

Does the car get to have a preference in who gets to die the same way people maintain a preference?

Ive noticed most of the contractors around here using high roof vans now instead of pickups. Some even tow a trailer and have the van. There is a LOT of space inside a large high roof van. 

You know, it's not really a problem in the rest of the world. 

Heh, you’re in Texas. Lots of the horse owners in Washington just come out to a boarding location and pet the noses of their horses.

I wouldn’t give Toyota a pass. They are one of the worst offenders for dragging their feet. 

I’m happy for you. Seriously, good work actually using your pickup. You are not the norm.

Yeah, it's a city thing.

I agree with you. It’s always the details that make the case, right? If someone only tows twice a year but use that solely as their justification for the truck, maybe they would be better served compensating someone else for the use of their truck.

I agree with you on both fronts.

You do what I think most would actually prefer. Fun and affordable car + trailer is generally going to beat a pickup in every aspect of its mantra other than immediate convenience since you’ll have to hitch up the trailer.

Yes. 

You’re likely one of the better non-commercial consumers with a truck.

I never countered a ‘want’ argument. Want what you like.

I think its a tragedy of the commons argument - How many more people would be able to make use of the street if everyone was in a Fiat 500 rather than a Ram 1500?

The Flex and the F150 ‘Shiny Edition’, as my wife likes to call them, actually seemed to make pretty good used of that bolted-on shiny piece if the stylizing of the car.
