I've used huge trucks for bush work. Like we're talking going mudding just to get to work. This line of work basically put me in the position that is the subject of commercials that try to convince suburban dads that they need a huge truck in case one day their family goes on a fictional camping trip to the middle of a swamp.
Anyways, you know what I learned? These fucking things suck at off-roading.
- They have shit visibility. You sometimes need to get out of the truck to see around corners, especially if you're cresting steep hills
- They have a dangerously high center of gravity (I saw a bunch of coworkers roll theirs) that is only amplified if you carry large loads in their truck beds
- Over-complicated features like traction control will actually kill your power if you're doing some technical driving, which will make you get stuck when you don't need to
There's no good reason for these pieces of shit to exist.
Trust me, we hate it here in the US just as much.
Both my brother in laws have huge modified trucks, both live in cities, both complain that the road infrastructure and parking doesn't cater to their large vehicles... Also both have (probably) never used the truck bed.
They are so huge, tons of room in the cab. Feels like driving in a living room. Have to ride over curbs to get out of parking lots though
The people who drive these things here in the UK are mental. I got smashed by one once overtaking me on a slip road because I wasn't going fast enough for him. I followed him all the way to his golf club and confronted him about it. His tank was barely scratched while my driver side door was totally fucked.

Because you can't pack this much fat into one body.
Aside from the lift, there may be use cases for the truck where it requires moving multiple people and smaller heavy loads (or pulling a trailer). However, the sad reality is that the heaviest load it'll likely be moving on a regular basis is the fat ass of the solo passenger in their way to/from fast food and groceries
You know what's fucked, Standards Australia annouced they were considered increasing the minimum size for parking spots and gave only 3 weeks for public comment.
So many comments against, but I bet the car lobbies get their way anyway.
These things are a scourge.
You've gotta compensate your penis size with your car. This is just basic science.
Aren't they needed for small pp?
I've seen big utes around the Australian suburb where I live and thought they were bad enough. These things seem to be on a whole other level
And this moron will be allocated the parking space next to mine in our residence.
How else are they supposed to tell the entire world they are massive dicks with micro penises?
My car is probably smaller than the cabin and engine of that truck and I don’t even have a compact car
That truck is also raised. I drive a 'normal' size SUV and once drove past one of those raised trucks in a parking lot - its hood was as high as my roof.
I wonder how big these things are compared to European lorry? That thing is fucking huge!
Useful for carrying massive things every single day, completely useless for all other purposes.
I noticed that car owners never use their cars to their fullest potential. You have all this additional space just being permanently unused, which just worsens highway traffic. Not to mention all the additional pollution you're now responsible for because that big ass car is not an EV.
Just get a regular sized car if you don't wanna bother transporting 3 grand pianos to the same two places every single day. Oh wait, now you have to retune them too.
That's a goddamn Ferd Fteenthousand.
they have big people over there
