My work truck is an 01 f350. It's heavy because it can haul literally a ton of material. 5.4l V8 originally made 260hp/350ft/pds, probably 3/4 of that these days, and it accelerates like a turtle fully loaded. If I could only load a quarter of that and struggle just as much I just don't really see the purpose besides offroading. I love small trucks, but those kei trucks make way more power to weight, and can't really hold much cargo because the bed is pretty small, so you would need stone to overload one. Pretty sure I could overload that ram with some potted plants! It'd be perfect if it had a slightly bigger engine, or at least higher compression to squeeze more out of what's there. Maybe 80's gas crunch thinking? Idk
