Because thats not how it works at all, Busses are much wider than cars.
For now. Cars keep getting wider year over year until they hit legal limits.
ford coming out with a 2-seater "bus" so they can release a truck that's 14 feet off the ground and gets 4 gallons a mile
Ford has been making the f650 for over 20 years
Edit; it gets 6mpg btw
I don't think those are street legal in the US though. We have one at my work but it can only be used on private property.
They are designed specifically to be street legal commercial vehicles (aka no CDL required) in most US states.
I've seen a handful of them on the road over the years. There used to be a red one that must've been owned locally as I saw it a number of times.
I could be wrong. It might just be the one they have at my job isn't street legal, but maybe they are overall.
More like your states registration is by weight and your company ain't trying to pay that shit lol
That truck looks like shit with those wheels. Hell it would look like shit on any wheels
Edit: oh I see, it's supposed to be used for powerline maintenance with a lift installed in the back, not like a regular pickup
Don't those things literally have a bus variant though?
Yeah, you can haul 30+ people
You can haul 6 tons of dirt, gravel, anything
Or you have a micropenis
From factory, those things are meant to be box trucks, dump trucks or tow trucks. Heavy duty work trucks. Not actually Ford's fault that idiots put pickup beds on the back and use them as their commuter. If you have a truck that big and it does have a flatbed at least, you're just a weekend warrior with issues.
12 yards long, 2 lanes wide,
65 tons of American Pride!
Canyonero! Canyonero!
Top of the line in utility sports,
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!
Canyonero! Canyonero! (Yah!)
She blinds everybody with her super high beams,
She's a squirrel crushing, deer smacking, driving machine!
Yeah, anyone who has biked in city streets will tell you that the buses are much wider than even the big SUVs.
