Is there such a thing as a 22ft long truck? I sure as fuck hope not and now I’m afraid to look it up. My guess is they were towing a trailer.
Dodge Ram can be 21’+
It also implies, statistically speaking, they have a DUI.
Who down voted you? Now technically given the rarity of drunk drivers actually getting caught, you’re probably wrong but only for the wrong reason.
Statistically, though, pickup trucks are more likely to get into accidents. They have a higher per capita accident rate even in many rural areas where there aren’t even as many people to hit.
My F-250 is right at 20’ long, with the 6½’ box. With an 8’ box it would be banging on 22 feet.
Fortunately, it’s not about “need.” I wanted one of these behemoths since I first saw them back in the early 2000s. Now that I have one, the cost of diesel keeps it in the driveway, or I’d be taking it everywhere.
BTW, it gets used. I’ve hauled 3,000 pounds of tile in the bed, and still has 250 pounds of payload to spare. On another trip, 1,500 pounds of dog food. A freezer. A full-sized couch and loveseat. Bookshelves. A bed. A king-sized mattress. A 6’x6’ desk. 2 powered recliners. If we’d had ramps, a Harley Road King. I almost had to haul a buddy’s 350 Chevy V8 and transmission, but the sale fell through at the last minute.
I’d like to see your Honda Civic/Miata/Volvo do any of that.
I’ve hauled in the 1500-2000 lbs ballpark in my Benz wagons. I know a guy who has done ~4000 on a trailer attached to a 90s Civic (no, that was not all that legal or safe).
Big trucks are kinda cool (as long as you don’t drive and park like a douche), but they’re far from the only way to transport goods. A diesel wagon will get better mpg hauling than your truck will running empty. Plus if you rent a trailer, you can’t scratch the bed of your truck (or spill anything in your trunk)
