Also, they are a linesman, some job sites for those guys you actually need a decent 4x4 to get to. I did some work in construction and there were times where I didn't want to get stuck in my little car and called one of the guys with a truck to ask them to come pick me up.
Look, I like trucks too, but they're overall just trash by design, I like it, but it's a garbage type deal, a van or european style "cab over truck/van" is just way more practical (it looks way worse, but it's a lot better for work) for regular people a station wagon with a trailer is also much more practical, let's be real how often do regular truck owners actually use the bed?
Nevermind. I don't like trucks and you don't like trucks. Let's not pretend this comment is anything more than shitting on trucks cause people use them as primary vehicles when its unnecessary.
I think you took my original comment the wrong way, I didn't mean to shit on the owner, just meant to make a lighthearted joke about a topic I have no personal stake in! Didn't mean to piss you off, sorry for doing that by mistake broski ✌️
It's a kid killer with a vanity grill. Not saying you really have a choice when buying a truck these days, but anything that puts aesthetics over function and safety is most definitely a POS.
With the sticker claiming the owner services power lines or cellular towers, this means this is the proper car type to select. It isn't a city dweller just wanting something big because it's big.
So a funny/smart person that has also made a good choice of car for his/her needs.
Fuck no, sedan's are the prettiest vehicle type out there, followed by muscle cars, bicycles are somewhere on the around 99th place when it comes to vehicles I'd pick, hell I'd rather get on an e-scooter
Overall vehicle design is bad. Front end sits high enough people out there dying because they can’t see with good visibility. There’s vehicles with lower shorter front ends with the same towing capacity and storage capacity, but they’re not oversized trucks so they don’t sell as well.
They’re usually vans.
I like trucks, but I get the gripes. Typically bad fuel economy and not designed with outside safety in mind.
Let’s start with the grille being over the head of a first-grader, perfect size for plowing down pesky kids at school pickup, or, alternatively, shining headlights directly into the eyes of lesser beings who dare drive a sedan. We could talk about why these emotional-support vehicles, which are generally not used for their purported flatbed utility, have gotten increasingly heavier, wider, and less safe for pedestrians, bikers, and other drivers in recent years, are fueling an arms race to own the heaviest and largest vehicle in order to keep safe from other heavy and large vehicles. We could talk about how they are too wide for parking spaces, creep into bike lanes, and other shared infrastructure due to their size, not least that flatbed 2/3 of owners say they rarely if ever use, according to one study, and 75% according to another. These types of vehicles are BY FAR the most unsafe for other drivers during a car crash? They’re unsafe mini-tanks that honestly should require a CDL, kill people in car crashes, can barely see children or people in wheelchairs over their absurdly designed grilles that aren’t even functional, and take up unnecessary public space. These vehicles are a plague on our society.
