    The petrosexual male, who can only get sexual aroused by loud rumbling engines and black sooty exhaust. It’s a well known fact they have lost the ability to get it up for a woman a long time ago. Be very careful when entering they’re garage as you can find many fluids in the floor, and not all are from the vehicle.

      Can’t blame them when they decided to marry the largest right wing woman they could find.

        “You want me to wear a flashlight to bed? Huh, this looks like those lights on your truck. And why is your phone making that engine noise? Is that SOOT in the humidifier?!”

    I’m really glad I live in a place where this driver would get a big fine the first time they’re stopped, and most likely get their vehicle impounded if they were seen more than a few days later with the lights still attached.

    (EDIT: Anyone complaining that they need this many are lying or they have very low intelligence. If you need this llevel of light, you have a generator and actual lights in the back of the truck. If you need one or two of the huge ones for actual work, you’d have covers for them, which makes it legal again(since you’d have to stop the car and get out to turn them on, and can’t just flick them on while driving since that is a deadly hazard to others))

      That’s no problem, he can hook it up to some spare batteries on the passenger seat. It’s not like anybody’s going to be sitting there

      My buddy is a general contractor and actually does need a truck for his job. Ironically he has a really hard time finding one with a large enough bed for what he needs anymore. Most of the trucks being built now are designed with hauling groceries home from the Costco in mind, not hauling lumber and sheets of drywall.

        My brother is in the market for a truck. He wants it to actually put things in the back of it, specifically a motorcycle.

        I know that there are trucks out there that have beds big enough, there has to be, but holy moly it’s like every truck bed is made for 3 grocery bags and a 6 pack. I can haul more in the back of my GTI then some of these trucks out here. When the hell did they turn so useless??

        If I have to hook up a trailer to carry most things what’s the point of a truck

        Last year I bought a truck with an 8ft bed. Its very unusual to see a single cab long bed truck that’s as new as mine (2012) without it being someone’s fleet truck, in fact, it’s the only one I’ve seen for sale locally. The next cheapest truck was twice the price, had twice the miles, but it also had a 4 door cab and a little 5 foot bed. It’s apparently what most people want.

          I don’t get short bed trucks at all. If you can’t lay down in it it’s not a bed. You’re better off with a station wagon in 95% of situations.

      As a carpenter, I’m just curious how you think the building you live in got built?

        97% of carpenters on the planet don’t need tiny-penis trucks mate, there is literally no reason for them to exist

          Yep open vans have 4x the space. You occasionally see tiny-penis trucks in Europe and I always make a point of looking in the back - it’s always immaculate and unused

            these trucks are always used by men who look like they are very “confident” in their masculinity, much like pitbull owners.

        This is precisely why they can’t have houses in China because all the roads are tiny and they can’t fit a truck big enough to haul a 2x4.

        Right?

        Not with a truck like this, I can promise you lol. This is not the truck of someone who needs to do any work with it. Or even go offroad with it.

        This is an SUV for a man who who’s masculinity is too fragile to own a “feminine” SUV or minivan, so they stick a little tiny bed on the back and he can walk around saying that he uses his truck for Serious Business.

        In my country they use vans like a Mercedes Sprinter because you can actually keep your stuff dry and even make a little workshop in there. The only use I can think of for a pickup truck is maybe gardeners so they don’t have to haul a trailer for their green waste? Could also maybe be useful to haul strawbales if you have a small farm. But you can just do that in a trailer behind your van as well, and your equipment will be dry inside the van and you can leave the trailer when you don’t need it.

        If the local contractors are any indication, they probably haul their stuff on and in an old minivan.

        Mine is built from enough concrete and brick to sink most ships. And most wood frame houses are built from timber trucked in on a flatbed.

        Nobody does large amounts of hauling with a pickup.

        They get a transit van if they actually need to move things around.
