What's crazy, is that you'll never see any of these large Utes which are dirty. But, many of the same people who buy a vehicle with such high high clearance are also the exact people who exaggerate the size of potholes around, and the cost of EV's (despite paying a huge amount in petrol and servicing that would dwarf the cost of battery replacements in 15 years).
I get a kick out of watching the immaculate shiny “pavement princesses” frantically dodging manhole covers. Not even potholes, just those barely perceptible round metal manhole covers that my little Honda Fit merrily rolls over with nary a whimper.
(The actual ranch trucks just nonchalantly barrel over everything, I’m talking about the pristine city-only ones.)
