Fuck people who buy those big beasts, then can’t handle them for shit, and try to park as close to the front door as possible, fucki ng up parking for every other vehicle. Never even trying to park straight…ungh.
Edit: to be fair, i used to own an oversized pick up. Similar but a much much earlier style/model. At the time i regularly traveled forestry roads like, 40 kns into the back country, so i actually needed it. Got rid of it when it was clear i was not going to be going into the field anymore.
These do NOT belong in a city.
Every trip in a truck with an empty bed is a waste. Tooling around with stuff in the bed without the intent to deliver/use it at your destination is even worse.
Yet that describes 99.99999% of all pickup truck use in America. Just a huge ass waste of gas and space in parking lots.
Trucks are expensive too! If I were a scam artist I would definitely be targeting people driving shiny pickup trucks with empty beds. Because they definitely aren't practical or realistic people.
That's how you know it's all for show. People casually forget you can rent trucks for 20 dollars a day too. "Oh well I'm glad I have it for towing and moving". Bull. How often do you tow really? And even then I'd expect it to sit at home most of the time. Moving? Once a year. Rent a truck. I go to home Depot and rent theirs when I need it.
Buying a truck like that shows you are way too worried about what people think of you, you have to feel "big", which usually means you're a small man, and probably bad with money.

Rented a big truck for my move. It was a bitch to drive, cost me 75bucks for 2 hrs (it has the 29.99 in-town advertising plastered on the side) and didn't fit more shit than a rental van of the same price.
I just looked up the dimensions of that thing and it has 10cm (3inch) shorter bed than mine. How you even manage to pull that off with a truck that big is beyond me.
These brodozers aren't used for anything useful. I like having 4' between the wheelwells and a box long enough to get a full toolbox across the front of the box and still get a 1000L fertilizer tote in it. And low enough that I can climb in the box without a ladder.
