  • Sure, I should have gone further.

    etc, etc.

    There are thousands of combinations of the possible layers needed to make an OS.









  • I said nothing about safety. I just said it should be considered a different class of vehicle if it meets certain characteristics. SUTs are great for camping, for hauling surf boards & kayaks (possibly with a rack) and tow just as well as pickups. They don’t have a full-size bed, so they’re worse at most jobs, though the larger cab does mean they can carry more workers at once. It’s a trade-off: get worse at most work-related tasks, get better at personal tasks and thus reach a wider market.


  • At what point does it become ok to have an open bed?

    When the distance from the back of the truck to the front of the bed is longer than the distance from the back of the cab to the front of the truck, it turns from a Sport Utility Truck into a Pickup Truck. Typically that’s around when the bed gets big enough to haul a sheet of plywood or drywall safely.

    Of course it’s OK to have an SUT instead of a pickup truck, just not as useful for construction work.



  • Eh, as a weirdo who uses Celsius a lot but lives in Buffalo, NY…

    -20s is cold. Coat, gloves, scarf, & hat. Long underwear. Not too much evaporation from the lake since it can freeze, so not much snow.
    -10s is chilly. Coat, probably zip it up towards the lower end of the range. Decent chance of apocalyptic snow.
    0-10s is cool. Wear a sweater.
    10s is nice. Maybe consider long sleeves & pants if it gets a bit cooler.
    20s is shorts & t-shirt weather.
    30s is all AC, all the time. Uncomfortably hot not too far into the range.
    40s is “the humidity is now so high the air is soup, filled with mosquitoes”.
