I drive the White car… Parked it in the lot for work, came out to this fuck off Nissan, next to me, Lined up parallel with my car, so i snapped a couple of pictures to show you how obnoxious Trucks have gotten, as if you didn’t already know.

It’s hard to argue when a monolith on wheels is in front of your face. :/

    To play devils advocate for some trucks, in some situations they really are needed. I happen to live in an area with lots of dirt roads, and in the spring we have “mud season” where the roads just turn to soup. I have had it where the ruts are so deep (1-2 feet) that the only thing that could make it is a stupidly large truck.

    That being said, the vast majority of people don’t live on or near dirt roads and never have a need for a truck this big.

      The ruts are there because of stupidly large vehicles going down the muddy road. You need more capable, not bigger.

      I would also argue that a Suzuki Jimny / Samurai is plenty to get across a muddy track.

        Wish the better car manufacturers put any effort into the small truck market, but apparently there just isn’t enough demand for compact trucks to make non-cheapo versions.
