Clearly designed by someone who hasn't used a pickup truck to it's real potential.
I wanted to get one of those tiny grandpa trucks when they were going for like $4k new, but apparently they're illegal everywhere in the US. We're stuck with $60k "entry level" monster trucks.
They're illegal in some places, but I think they're mostly fine. The deal is you can't import a foreign made car unless it's more than 25 years old, so the poor American car companies don't have to compete.
The real scam is the importers get 'em in Japan for a couple hundred bucks at auction, haul 'em over here and sell 'em for 8k plus. They're pretty rad, but parts can be kind of a bitch.
I thought the roof was attached to the truck and it was like a mobile hangout
Chicken coop.
Make a little birdhouse in your truck
final destination vibes
I strap my shit good. This is pre-tie down. Plus I was just going a couple blocks in town.
I had a giant metal ladder fall off of the top of a work van and come right at my windshield while I was driving to my own wedding. i barely braked in time, but it had some serious Final Destination vibes. All things considered, I still think that the scariest thing that day was the final bill for the wedding.
Yeah, this isn't rocket surgery
Also, yay for an actual work truck, and not one of the weird oversize impractical monstrosities that so many people seem to swoon over these days
I've got some big ass American iron too, but it's old and actually worth a shit. Never understood lifts you need and ladder for, and 3' beds. Totally worthless vanity boosters.
Trucks are for doing shit, not hauling your sorry ass to the grocery store.
Exactly. Take a 1989s LWB F250 with crewcab for example - full length bed, carries a work crew, can do a reasonable amount off road, and can be absolutely beaten on for years.
That, I can respect.
I heard a real kicker recently. It was something like
Best instagram roast of a modern truck guy I've ever seen.
They were arguing on a post about that guy's massive grocery getter where he was defending the purchase, as usual.
Yup, someone on Lemmy mentioned about needing a pickup truck for work ... I specifically remember that that same day I'd seem three workmen on a single 125cc scooter towing a trailer with tools and a bunch of 2x4s on it.
Hahah brilliant
My dad and his workmates just use a VW Sharan for construction work. By the stuff they do to it, it's impressive that all 4 wheels are still attached.
It always baffles me when people say they NEEEEDED to buy a new work truck when I see how dad uses their sharan at work.
Yup. At work back home the security guys have new big pickups ... they literally never ever ever have to carry stuff or go off road.
Meanwhile where I'm working under contract, the security guys have small capacity motorbikes yet manage to be more intimidating (their main purpose)
careful!
Meh, it's water under the fridge
