BTW the tank has a better forward view than the truck

    I can’t understand why someone would want that large of a car

      It’s not even good for truck stuff. All that lift kit is extra weight and puts the bed too high to load stuff into it without a crane.

      It’s also really expensive so you’re not gonna fuck it up when off-roading, though those wheels and tires aren’t off-road ready.

      ETA: It’s not even artistic. A low rider isn’t good for anything but they look great. Sometimes art can be a reason. But this is just a giant, ugly, beige piece of crap with hideous wheels.

      It’s an entirely useless vehicle that isn’t good for anything and I hate it.

          Conspicuous consumption has been a thing for a really, really long time. But at least in previous time periods the things they were consuming at least were interesting to look at. Now it’s just mass-produced bullshit that doesn’t even look good. For fuck’s sake: They’re selling stained and ripped jeans for hundreds of dollars!

          Bring back codpieces and fancy frilled collars! Bring back ornate brocade and gold detailing! Bring back ornate architecture! If you’re going to exploit us for our labor at least make things that look good!

        Not to mention the borderline useless low profile tires. The bead would probably slip off the rim on a bumpy cottage road, i can’t even imagine how poorly they’d perform in real offroad conditions.

        lift kit = extra weight, bed too high

        The weight added by a lift kit is a rounding error on the weight of the vehicle
        Beds are too high from the factory so this doesnt actually matter

        Offroading

        This style is not built to go offroading

        Not artisitic

        Not up to you. People are allowed to like things.

        Get better, defendable arguments.

        These trucks suck to drive, ride like shit, get poor fuel economy, pollute the planet (especially after emissions equipment is deleted), but most importantly are unsafe to be on the road: they barely fit in the lanes, the view out of them is abysmal, and are extremely heavy which makes them unsafe in a collision.

        It’s good for making the owner forget they have a micropenis for a short while.

          Could we stop using “micropenis” and the likes as insults? There are many men with small dicks who aren’t insecure assholes.

            Agreed. Moving away from body shaming, here are a couple of names for such a huge vehicle: Pavement Princess, Emotional Support Vehicle.

              Just to be pedantic and nit picky, if we want to move away from insulting body features I feel that moving to insulting gender isn’t a great thing to move to. Pavement Princess as a pejorative is mostly relying on our assumptions of princesses, end by extension the female side of the species, being delicate and useless.

              Just a thought, I’ve used the term myself, though I wish I could find a better one. ESV might be the one I go to in the future.

                Good point, I’ll stick with ESV instead.

      society has made us see cars more as a statement of one’s image rather than an object of utility.

      this is also why luxury brands thrive in general – because there exist people with more money than sense.

      Right? If I’m going to get a vehicle that big it better have a 120mm cannon at least.
