The shocks were the wrong stiffness for the application, the tires wore out very quickly, and I forgot that the seats were also disintegrating after only two years. That's not what I expect from a light truck or any other quality farm equipment. This is a vehicle for somebody who wants to continually maintain and upgrade it.
They were springs, not shocks. Of course it was too stiff for exclusive use on a farm, it's expected to do most of its driving on roads in China. The tires didn't wear out, he wanted knobbier tyres for the farm. And you know what other vehicle always wore through its seat upholstery in 2 years? Nineties hiluxes. You know, the gold standard of rugged, simple reliability. And guess what, living on a farm those required a lot of maintenance too. It's a machine, machines wear out with use even when they have Toyota badges.
These cheap electric trucks are a return to simple, easily serviceable designs that you'd think ol' boys would be cheering for. Instead all they do is cry about it. It's culture war brain rot
Your ability to completely misread what actually happened is honestly astounding.
God forbid somebody have a unique point of view.
Being misinformed and dishonest is not and will never be a valid or unique point of view. Your ignorance does not have the same weight as the truth.
You're not unique for just being a contrarian and actively misreading information.
Schizophrenics have unique perspectives, that doesn't mean, they're correct or even valuable.
It's not unique, there are tons of people exactly as wrong as you are.
It has nothing to do with your point of view. You’re misreading facts and then stating your incorrect understanding as fact. Point of views require a common factual base, which you haven’t shown to understand at all.
