I know this is [email protected] but I really hate driving these modern trucks. The hood is too high, the windshield is too narrow, and the height is too high. You really can't tell how close something. It's really dangerous.
On top of all that the assholes that drives these things have the brightest lights in the world. That shouldn't be allowed in the city.
Absolutely. Had to drive pickups at work and was constantly competing to get the old, beat up, smaller truck because it was just so much more practical to load and unload.
The target market here is so sensitive about their masculinity that they’ve actually sabotaged the practical use of these vehicles.
All my neighbors have trucks. I rarely see them use the truck bed. The truck bed is already shortened to make room for a back seat. On top that they all have crossover tool boxes. That take another 25% of room on the bed.
Man I have one of these as I tow a 16k lb trailer weekly and I fucking hate the thing. I wish I could get a Isuzu two door cab over with the same specs. Even though the Isuzu isn’t small it’s the smallest thing I could see getting where you can see shit. Also it cost just at as much as one of these support vehicles but without a bed. 😥
As another guy who drives pickups at work. I hate them as well. They have shit visibility, are difficult to park, handle like a tank, and the bed is difficult to get in and out of.
Canada and Mexico have declining rates and the exact same vehicles, it’s not the vehicles, but people don’t want to take accountability for their actions, so they blame something.
I had to drive a truck recently, (needed to rent a vehicle, and they only had pickups left.) It was a chevrolet Colorado, which I understand to be one of the smaller trucks available in North America, and I was so happy to get rid of it at the end of the trip. It was fine on the highway, but in the city it was just incredibly awkward. Cumbersome handling, blind spots for days...I constantly felt like I was going to hit something.
I can't even imagine how clueless you'd be about your immediate surroundings in a monstrosity like what's pictured here.
Be a shame if a bunch of people called and complained. It would be terrible if you could zoom in on the rear passenger window and see their phone number
The website is really top notch, too.
Between the truck and the yard, I wouldn't call them for any job.
As others have pointed out, that's no work truck, and that yard is bleak.
Why would you assume it’s their yard? More than likely they are visiting a client, there doesn’t look to be street parking, and some people don’t want you parking on their driveway.
This really looks like a contractor trying to fit off the street and driveway and managing the best they can to meet a potential client.
Unless they don’t notice and drive off and the tire explodes and they hurt a totally innocent bystander.
Maybe don’t vandalize people’s shit, even if they’re dicks, that makes you a bigger dick in almost all situations. An adult wouldn’t seek revenge. The fuck is wrong with people?
Not adult enough you need to take your emotions out on other peoples stuff? Come on.
It depends on the use case, though. If that driver's main concern is getting in and out of muddy work sites safely, maybe carrying cargo is less important than 4WD cred.
I think a significant part of this problem is that, from what we can see in the photo, they 100% should have pulled forward so that they didn't entirely block the sidewalk. Someone coming through there on a wheelchair or with a stroller would have a real bad time. It also looks like it's out in the road a little, which is very inconsiderate as well.
Classic "work truck". In Canada that decal gets you deductions for Gas and oil, repairs, maintenance, insurance, loan interest, leasing costs, capital cost, parking, and licence and registration fees.
