This product makes no sense. Who exactly are they planning to sell to? I don't think people needing a truck for work would ever use something like this over say a F150.

Presumably people who need to haul up to 600lbs regularly in an industrial or farm setting that don’t want to spend $40k? What an odd question.

There's a lot of used cheap trucks available. I don't know any farmers buying new fleet trucks but do buy used F150s.

It's probably the same market fit as the John Deere Gator. We see them used all over in Hawaii like that.
