You don't fit. Go to your own garage. You are several feet too long.

I've seen an increase in these dumb trucks in my small European city. Every single one in pristine condition, so you know the pricks don't use them for work. A few stood out with expectedly dumb details. One had a license plate a la "I love USA", and another had a sticker "0800-EAT-SHIT". I'm pissed EU doesn't have the balls to ban them altogether.

Interesting how giant stupid trucks attract douchebags world wide.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

Sensible person...hmmm a big truck I don't need will cost me a lot in fuel, I will by an average car.

Sensitive person...hmm this giant truck will pollute my community and add to global climate issues, I will buy a very fuel efficient car/EV.

Doucebag...this truck will make me look so bad ass with the trucknuts in back, while I roll coal

I've counted. In my area of Canada less than 3% of pickups that I see are being used as anything other than a commuter car at any given time.

These insecure dumbasses define their worth by the size of their truck. The things are just $100,000 fashion accessories. Emotional support vehicles.

Micro penis energy is what emanates from these large trucks. Et least that's often how they are perceived in France.

See, that right there.

I used to have a massive F-550, but it was so beat up and had the connections to make use of that towing capacity.

Most of these trucks have never been off the pavement and never hauled more than groceries.

Also, an F-250 now is the size of my F-550 in the 90s.

I need to figure out some way to plausibly scratch these things with deniability. Maybe an umbrella with a metal tip sticking out of my bag. Whoops, sorry, couldn't be helped, total accident.

[–] DiarrheaSommelier@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

Tungsten carbide tips on the umbrella.

[–] DeadPixel@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 days ago

Perhaps a simple trip/stumble while holding a handful of sharp metal objects that happen to make contact as you reach out to prevent a full fall, clumsy me…

I think they're banned in the UK. Too big for the roads in a city that was built for horses.

[–] ALiteralCabbage@feddit.uk 2 points 2 days ago

They're not banned. I live in the country and there's a lot of Dodge Rams, Ford Rangers (and the odd Fx50 imports round here.

UK is also the spiritual home of the Land Rover, and those fuckers are insanely big now. The ionos grenadier is a beast also...

The argument is almost always "I need it to tow"/drive it over field a hill but it's typically some farm lad running it on red diesel and claiming it's for farm purposes (on his way to or from the pub)...
