So much accusations and assumptions. What if the owner is a construction worker doing custom kitchen deliveries, and needs this monster for living. You sure can’t haul a kitchen kit in your man’s Toyota Aygo or Fiat 500.
How about a rancher, car hauler, or farmer.
Far too many people have no concept for legitimate need for such a monster of a vehicle because they only know assholes who want a big truck for the sake of having a big truck.
How come not a single contractor, farmer or hauler needs one in any other country?
If you turned up to a building site in one of those you’d get absolutely laughed at for your fucking stupidity
Have you ever been to another country though? The kinds of cars handymen in Europe prefer are usually a van like T6 or Sprinter, the latter being 20 feet long. For a good pro, their van usually contains a supermarket’s worth of tools and materials nearly assembled and ready to use. You can’t just assume America is the only place that needs hauling stuff.
Other countries have vehicles that are sized to accommodate the conditions; smaller roads, less space, and different emissions laws. America wasn’t built based on 1,500+ year old roads.
You can’t have an 8ft wide dually with a 20ft trailer to take an excavator to a job site in London, you need a lorry. You would be laughed at because you can’t maneuver that setup around and would get fucked in pinch points on a one-way street.
What if he’s got to move these refrigerators? What if he’s got to move these color tv’s?

That ain’t workin’. That’s the way you do it.

I wouldn’t be so sure about that. With Ikea flat-pack cabinets and a small enough kitchen design (e.g. galley kitchen in a tiny apartment), I wouldn’t be surprised if you could fit everything except the appliances in one of those tiny cars.
Of course, it’d probably be easier to fit them on a bicycle with a proper trailer.
What, the tiny car thing or the bike trailer thing?
I don’t have an Aygo/500 or a fancy Bikes at Work trailer, but I have hauled stuff in the Hyundai Accent hatchback I used to own and towed cargo in a cheap Instep bicycle trailer.
(I admit, a Hyundai Accent hatchback is quite a bit bigger than an Aygo or 500, especially with the rear seats folded down. It can hold enough that I’d be more worried about maxing out weight capacity when hauling flat-pack cabinets, rather than having sufficient cargo volume for them.)
A van would totally fit for this sort of job, as you can just put your tools inside your van. If you need to carry something longer a mini-truck will do too. Pickup truck is an offroad machine and suitable for a lot of offroad application, but more often than not a lot of people use it on asphalt and 99%of the time not hauling anything.
The top 3 vehicle being sold in US in 2023 are all pickup. The accusation and assumption is very much warranted.
The cropping makes me suspicious. I don’t know what vehicle it is or where it is. Feels like engineered rage bait.
