I’m sure they have some use in mountainous countries or areas without roads etc, but in the UK, both of those ridiculous, fat micro-lorries would also be seen as extravagant and flashy - possibly even more so than a sports car.
They didn’t seem to even exist ten years ago, and (to my knowledge) no new mountains or volcanoes have sprung up in the UK since, so I’m pretty sure for most cases a normal van would work, and it would fit in a parking space :)
You should see the shit these guys haul off from my hardware store job, and yes, many of them look like princess trucks. I have a 21-yo F150 and I wouldn’t even try.
“You, uh, you sure about that 3rd pallet of concrete? OK.”
I’m no expert, but my take was that the trucks are just luxury vehicles and not actually designed to handle that amount of weight. So they were buying expensive, showy vehicles, and trying to use them like actual work horses.
Whether that is a result of lack of research on the owners perspective, or the manufacturer misrepresenting the vehicle is unclear to me though. Probably both.
these pavement princess giant 4x4 monstrosities indicate one thing: a complete detachment from reality and a crass disdain for the only ecosystem we have. they think ‘i’m wealthy, I’ll just buy a new environment when this one is wrecked’ and continue to pour more co2 into the atmosphere.

It kinda sounds like they’re actually using the vehicle for what it was designed for, in that case.
I’m not sure what your complaint is.
