It barely fits in the bloody car park. So bad for pedestrians and the environment.
Maybe it makes me a bad person but I’d love one, even just for a few years.
I ride 20km to uni each way, eat less than 1 meat meal a week on average and am highly interested in solar/renewable energies but fuck me I’d love a big truck… specifically one bigger than everyone elses.
If I wanted to drive a big truck I wouldn’t get one of these. I’d go for something like an OKA.
only a 4 cylinder so no v8 noises
gvm so high you’ll need a light ridged license and a BAC of 0.00.
Your not going to earn the respect of all the blokes down at the pub if you go to show off your new truck and only drink raspberry lemonade.
I live in bumfuck Egypt and mostly everybody drives a truck. They are awful, giant, and dangerous. I do not feel that the majority of people that use them actually need them, but everybody has bought into the marketing campaign that in order to be a real man you gotta drive some big fuckoff vehicle. It’sd asinine
I do see a use case for them in Egypt though. In harsher environments they excel quite well. They’re designed to be more reliable and serviceable than regular cars. But it’s unnecessary in urban environments and easier climates.
Lol, someone isn’t an old and decrepit person.
BFE is just a phrase to mean the middle of nowhere like a town of 200 people.
It’s just crazy that these things are allowed.
Ok, let people buy them if they really want, but they shouldn’t be allowed to use them on the roads that other people have to share with them!
They should be allowed to drive them, but pay a price for them. Tax the absolute shit out them and don’t allow it to be a taxable right off for “business purposes”. But then I also say that should go for all four wheel drivers. 30 years ago the only people who had anything bigger than a station wagon were people that actually used them for recreational use. The argument of “it’s safer for me to drive them” is the same argument people use when the gun debate is used - it’s only safer because everyone else has one is not a valid argument.
People don’t need four wheel drives - they have them because it’s convenient. If you want that convenience then you should have to pay for it.
taxing them wont remove their massive blind spots that make them so dangerous. Even fwds have some use cases but these don’t, to my knowledge there isn’t any thing these stupid things can do that another vehicle cant do better besides maybe running over children, no one needs one of these.
These mofo americans are ruining it for everyone. I have stopped watching hollywood movies as they tend to show these cars and most regulars get brain washed and start buying this shit.
Hey! Don’t judge them too harshly for admitting they need an Emotional Support Vehicle for their fragile ego, there’s a reason they need such obvious over-compensateors. /s
I’m honestly always weary of these kinds of vehicles, the blind-spots are freaking massive. they are also much more difficult to see “around” to try and get a sense of what traffic/etc is like further ahead/around you.
Yeah, I saw a photo from inside one of them the other day and the pillars are gigantic.
They have to be - safety standards require vehicles to not kill everyone inside if you roll it, which means the roof needs to be able to support the entire weight of the vehicle.
