    He has a point, though, just not articulated as well as it could be. Someone is being a bit cheeky with this image, because those are two different classes of trucks, not just different models.

    The one in front I believe is a 2nd gen (1998-2000) Toyota Tacoma which is a classed as a compact pickup. The one in the rear is a Ford F-250 Super Duty which isn’t even meant to be their consumer pickup truck; it’s a very definitely classed as a full sized pickup with its own heavy duty chassis and isn’t even based on the F-150 anymore. Everyone and their dog does indeed drive an F-150 but not as many people are just running around in an F-250 just for the hell of it.

    A less disingenuous comparison would be the old Tacoma in the front and a current Tacoma in rear. Trying to compare old and new Super Duties would probably be futile; those have always been huge.
