    I thought the images of these trucks were jokes, photoshopped memes. Or some obscure modified model. The are… are the real???

    I’m in Spain, and have never something like that. I don’t think it would even be legal here, that wouldn’t fit into our streets and parking spots.

      industrial application

      Towing and carrying crew. Let’s say you have a heavy duty trailer for hauling supplies or equipment. You need towing capacity at this level. Then to eliminate a chase car for a crew of 3 to 5 you need a decent cab. Trust me that a tiny backseat is not acceptable (try exercising for 8 hrs straight and then holding a crunched up position for an hour and you’ll get the point).

      All of that to say that there are real uses for vehicles like this, but most people who buy them don’t have those needs. Nobody would buy a semi to tool around town in. It doesn’t make any sense that these are treated differently.
