minus-squareComradeSalad@lemmygrad.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up12·edit-210 months ago95% of people with a truck like that never haul anything, or at max, they haul a small load of lumber once a year. Absolute waste. Also, 95% of the hauling needs that people have could be solved by the normal sized trucks of the 70’s and 80’s. Not todays monstrosities. The people themselves are a nightmare too. By far some of the worst, most aggressive, and stupidest drivers on the road.
