This truck is almost explicitly a fleet vehicle for construction and the like. Pretending encountering this $150,000 work vehicle is a common occurrence is super disingenuous.

If you're gonna be scared of trucks, we least be scared of the ones you actually see.

These types should do us all a favor and roll coal in the privacy of their closed garages.

On behalf of the 6’4” community, I miss my ‘98 Honda Accord daily. Stolen and mutilated only a couple road trips shy of 300k miles. Cut down in it’s prime.

How else am I supposed to haul my truck boat truck???

Yeah we have those. I think I've only ever seen 1 or 2. It's a drop in the bucket compared to all the semi trucks we rely on but that doesn't excuse the people who buy them to take their kids to school and buy groceries. Except for Shaq, I guess. I think he bought one and customized it so he can have enough leg room.

How are you supposed to be aware of who is walking in front of you in that thing???

This is probably some religious fanatics who believe God gave the earth to mankind to exploit to the limits of their desire. It's* fucking dumb.

Everyone just sits back and looks at these people with these massive trucks and wonders if they know that we all know about their dicks. We do.

If you drive this truck, most Americans recognize that there is something very broken inside of you, and we're ashamed that the US auto industry is allowed to precipitate this public nuisance. It's indistinguishable from how intellectually and socially mature Americans view people who make firearms part of their identity, and the industry that is allowed to precipitate the public nuisance that is the gun violence, another great American shame.

We are outnumbered. Send love.

• I've never seen a consumer truck this large in person. Only special, heavy equipment, for farming, military, or construction is this large. It's a novelty toy, as others have said, for wealthy people with dumb luck. I don't know trucks well enough to say what models I see, but I do see some big trucks. This is a bit of a charicature. In fact this is a commercial truck that someone--seems like it's an option from Ford directly, or an independent custom shop--specced out as a luxury four-door pickup. Normally, this engine and chassis is specced out as a cab and frame, and sold out to commercial custom shops that are turning them into fire engines or freezer trucks, utility trucks, and what not. In Europe though, I think even the freezer trucks and fireengines are much smaller. One difference being that when the automobile came to our parts of the world, Americans had much more space, and I think it turn our common law of public ways and easements adapted to larger vehicles; like at some point the law had to recognize property rights granted for the purpose of transport (virtually everywhere you go) of people and goods had to adapt to the mode of transport: horse teams, to truck drivers (teamsters).
