Yeah... well, maybe if you didn't spend $60k on a truck and another $10k on a lift kit, you could afford a normal-sized house.

The hell do you need a lifted F-250 for?! You're not hauling anything, you're not towing anything, and that lift kit just ruined whatever practical use the truck had in the first place.

So you've got a 6,000-pound grocery-getting overcompensation machine that's somehow less useful than the truck was before you modified it.

Congratulations. You spent $70k to make a work truck worse at doing work.

People who buy these trucks are not generally paying cash. After taxes and loan interest, that $70K overcompensation machine is easily over $100K, more than the tiny home.

You know when I feel the most manly? When I successfully load my Kia Soul EV with groceries from Costco AND manage to get all four of my kids in there as well. A big pick-up truck is just cheating.
