You don't need that.
In this specific case, you are absolutely right.  The F150 handles all of my needs quite nicely.

Are any of the Big 3 trucks notably deficient to the others?  That might be the most competitive market in the US.

Calvin pisses on Chevy, if the decals are accurate.

I think all three make products that cover 90% of the market.  Beyond that, each of them differentiate a little bit.

For example, all three make a "1/2 ton" crew cab pickup that's capable of meeting my towing requirements.  But at the time I was purchasing, only Ford had a "supercrew cab" option where the back seat has about 8-12" more legroom than its competitors.  Since I knew that my truck would not only need to be able to tow, but it would also serve as our primary family vehicle, the extra rear legroom was among my primary purchasing concerns.

And other manufacturers stress different things on the fringes to capture some of the niche markets, as well.

Ford trucks usually ride a little rougher (stiffer) than Chevys

Is there another three pronged more competitive market out there in the US?

Most of our "stuff" has a zillion options that are mostly decent.

EVs Break Sales Records, but They Still Don't Meet Projections (caranddriver.com)

I'd like to chat with a new EV owner who lives in an Apt/Condo about their cost per mile.

Our hybrid will go about 100 feet on battery.  A PHEV will go 35 miles or so.  I'd be interested, I think, in a PHEV with maybe 10 miles of range, lower weight, lower cost, easy to charge with 110v.  I don't know that ~35 is optimal for everyone.  Our 100 feet is not enough to be notable really, but it gets good mpgs around town, not so great on the highway.

Did you pay extra for the 100 feet?
