Life is full of compromises. We wouldn't get along otherwise.

So I'm watching a random youtube video about trucks, comparing this:

"The 1974 F250 was built to work. The 2017 F250 was designed to pull floats in the gay pride parade."

What's this here?

Designed by function.

Designed by Congress.

GOSH this irritates me.

Men with degrees in engineering designed that truck. Some of them had been doing it for years, maybe even decades.
They designed all components of it to go together and work to a well defined set of specs and tolerances.

Here is the truck they designed, minus the obviously-compensating-for-something lift and larger tires.

LOL at the 2 wheel drive... they don't call them the Highboy for nuttin'!

Also the lift and taller tires are to compensate for the obstacles it will overcome, FWIW. Ground clearance is useful...

That's an F150 you have pictured.

According to the owner, the F250 pictured in my post, has not been lifted or altered in any way other than larger tires.

And yes, engineer's have designed them to do a multitude of tasks, but in so doing, there has to be compromise, along with considerations for cost.

So, if you value one trait far above others, like ground clearance, you will, by necessity, end up on the short end.

Or, to use a personal for instance as to why I will never buy a new Ford truck, I recall how Ford's engineers had to redesign the throttle pedal because women were complaining that the old style hung up when wearing high heels.

I suspect that is what causes the annoying tendency of the tip of your foot to now slip off the pedal when resting on the floor.

That extra inch or two gap, placed there by engineers, to accommodate a woeman's high heel shoe, in a work truck.

He's right, 8 bolt wheels. Still 2wd (and not a Highboy) though.

LOL then someone committed fraud since it was sold as a 250.
