Yes, I can fit all of these things in my normal cars. But I don’t need to dust them off or lay down plastic because it’s a TRUCK.
Honestly, the Mitsubishi pickup truck fills a very specific role in Thailand – it has enough loyal fans that buy them new to enable secondhand value hunters like me to find customized gems that are good for another couple hundred thousand kilometers or whatever. These things lose value like crazy compared to the top-tier pickup brands like Toyota and Isuzu, yet are equal in most functions to other mid-tier brands like Nissan (best for towing) and Mazda (best interior). If you just need a cheap, reliable truck in Thailand, Mitsu is the obvious choice.
This is where the tiles were going (although they were just temporarily placed in this photo, along with a butane cassette burner because we were going to replace our gas range). We had a sheet of dark glass as the splash guard for the wall since we built the house, but it finally broke. So Nam’s older sister gave us these nice tiles she brought from Bangkok.
