    I doubt if more than 15% of the F150s were ever sold to anyone who uses them as work trucks in the rural farm type environment most are sold to fleets used a company trucks and are just driven around or to people who have no idea what a truck was designed and built for, mostly just weekenders and city dwellers who will use them to go hunting or to haul their play toys around with. Any truck sold to farmers or companies that use their trucks as work trucks opt for the heavier duty F250s and the super duty 350 through 550s While it is true enough that a 150 size class of today has a higher load and towing cap. then many 250 class truck of 30 years ago and more than the 350 size class did of the 60's, everything else has upgraded as well.
    I have an old 1963 Dodge D300 that in its day was the boss hoss, but by todays standards the F150 or the Tesla Comino would walk it to the edge of the field and leave it in a ditch 6 ways from Sunday and back again.
    The engine in my 93 F350 is in its 4th truck and has at least half a mill miles on it My 91 F250 has 244K on it both are those noisy diesels and really aren't all that powerful but they will go on forever, Will the Duracell in the Tesla last that long?
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
