Pretty arrogant to claim people that own them don’t need them. I know welders that do on site welding and have heavy welding equipment mounted in the back.
You also wouldn’t want to have a civic flying down a steep hill behind you towing a 6,000lb travel trailer.
Edit:
Today I learned a bunch of people like to drive slow behind a rolling death trap that is a civic with a 6K lb trailer. Cool.
9 out of 10 non-company pickups on the road are hauling huge dicks with tiny penises.
Love bashing those kinds of truck people but it’s weird to me that this is about the only topic where lemmy will let body shaming slide
Probably because it’s metaphorical and not actually about the penis.
Now that I have this giant truck, I own the road, I can look down on everyone, no one can laugh at my personal faults and failings.
Idea that the truck can be used as a prosthetic for the personality is funny but hard to boil down boil down to 4 or 5 words. Male genitals however are euphemistically used all the time to describe (mostly) positive aspects of people. “Big dick” energy, “the balls” to do something, so the quickest way to express that a person is compensating for a lack of something that they know about and are ashamed of, but are unwilling deal with, is a tiny dick joke.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
edit: missed a word
So weird that contractors in every single other country on earth don’t need them
How strange!
Except they do. Or they use vans which are similarly sized, maybe a bit more narrow. Or they just have older trucks.
Can you explain to me how you can tow 10k lbs of gravel in a trailer with a Toyota pickup?
You’re ignorant. You’re probably picturing some plumber.
I’m literally a fuckin builder mate 😂
You turn up on a job site with a tiny penis truck, you’ll get laughed at the entire fucking day like the stupid cunt you are 😂
I think we’re not talking company trucks (which should park in a depot anyway).
It’s about personal garage-queen road-manatees. Because of course it is.
Just abolish and amnesty the Dodge ram. Given the inordinate DUI numbers, roads would just be safer.
Yes this is different. But still, how do you go RVing. You can’t, legally, without something that has the braking and towing capacities.
Glamping.
Or maybe just give up the “I want to travel and I want to take a single-wide with me” dementation.
I towed an a-frame tent trailer around the South Western US and Western Canada for like 2 months straight with a 2.5L Subaru Outback. People used to go camping with just a fucking station wagon. Could it tow a giant 25 footer trailer? No, would I want one? No, what’s the point of literally towing a full sized house to “Get away”.
