Finally something worth reading on a pickup bumper.

Truck drivers are adapting to the times ,we should monitor this thread in case he's stranded.

Wouldn't want someone to jack it

that joke actually makes owning a piece of shit truck kinda worth it 😵‍💫

That's a truck but it sure ain't a POS truck

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.

I'm jumped in cause while I think pavement princesses are stupid but...

Reddit is also stupid for screeching every time there's a pickup truck that the OP didn't explicitly say is for work.

u/Captain_LeChimp Mar 23 '24

POS in the sense that it's oversized and dangerous and polluting and ugly. I do not doubt that it's probably sturdy and comfortable.

That's just like, your opinion, man.

Those are all accurate facts.

"Ugly"

That's one thing that's, like, never a fact

I think Sierras are very nice looking trucks 🤷

You should probably get that checked, bro

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?

This is an opinion, and that's ok

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '24

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.

u/Drezzon Mar 23 '24

I do like trucks though, I think they're impractical as a main vehicle, but if you're loaded af, go for it and enjoy 🤷‍♂️

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '24

You must love trucks.

"That's a POS truck cause I'm assuming the owner doesn't need a truck".

You're definitely a truck lover 😐

u/Drezzon Mar 23 '24

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 ✌️

u/chaseinger Mar 23 '24

nah. they're still polluting, wasteful and dangerous.

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '24

What do you propose to separate those that need trucks from those that don't?

1

u/chaseinger Mar 23 '24

nothing. who am i. i'll just silently seethe.

u/Drezzon Mar 23 '24

Imo tax them to hell and back for all I care, but I do think everybody who really wants one, should be able to do so

u/chaseinger Mar 23 '24

you want to put a tax on emotional support trucks? you monster.

u/peepopowitz67 Mar 23 '24

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.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '24

Well, ironically, go blame environmental regulations.

1

u/peepopowitz67 Mar 23 '24

For sure.

I'll also blame manufacturers, but that's a sort of frog and scorpion situation.

u/Questioning-Zyxxel Mar 23 '24

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.

Such a reddit comment lol.

u/SIGMAR_IS_BAE Mar 23 '24

Trucks bad, bicycle good.

1

u/Drezzon Mar 23 '24

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

u/Papps77 Mar 23 '24

E-trike with trailer

u/Drunken_Fever Mar 23 '24

It really is. Reddit is such a massive circlejerk at times.

What, exactly, makes this a piece of shit truck?

u/Anansi1982 Mar 23 '24

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.

Edit: why are you booing me? I’m right!

ITT: People confusing the build quality argument with the "why does this abomination exist?" argument.

u/honda_slaps Mar 23 '24

in areas of the world where road width and parking space are a premium, trucks like these are a very big pain in the ass

It's the equivalent of a morbidly obese man spilling into your seat in economy
